Despite Oppenheimer‘s eyebrow-raising loss in sound at BAFTA to The Zone of Interest, the team of Willie Burton, Richard King, Gary A. Rizzo and Kevin O’Connell should be able to take this and do so in concert with a likely film editing win for Jennifer Lame, a common combo at the Oscars. It also has the Cinema Audio Society (CAS) award for sound mixing under its belt.
It’s strange to think that 22-time Oscar nominee Kevin O’Connell will only have two Oscars after next Sunday but it took 33 years to win his first so maybe it makes sense after all.
I might have slotted Zone for the #2 spot here after that BAFTA result but it’s very surprising loss at the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) guild yesterday to Society of the Snow lands it at #3. Maestro comes in with one MPSE win for music editing, which puts it safely at #2 and as the only film other than Oppenheimer to hit BAFTA, CAS and MPSE and is the only nominee here also up for film editing.
The Creator and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One are just happy to be here.
Here are my ranked final 2024 Oscar predictions for Sound.
