With no film winning more than one award, the Motion Picture Sound Editors did only one thing that really pointed us towards an Oscar winner…it picked War Horse for best Sound Effects and Foley, the best indicator of what film will probably win the Oscar for Best Sound Editing, an award they’ve corresponded four of the last five times out.
In addition to the nominees and/or winners listed below, this year, we’re giving you a quick background on each individual precursor including founding year, first awards year and a glimpse at how many predictions the group has gotten right in the last five years. This data can be found below.
As promised, I have posted the history of this particular guild on my website. You can find it by following this link: Motion Picture Sound Editors.
