Los Angeles, CA (February 9 , 2023)—Finals voting for the 95th annual Academy Awards will begin on March 2, 2023 and then runs through March 7, with the Oscar ceremony to take place on Sunday, March 12 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
While any of the 10 films on this year’s Best Sound Shortlist would have been a worthy Oscar contender, the final five should come as no real surprise.
Each featured stellar tracks from veteran crews, many of which have worked together on multiple projects over the years, often with the same directors.
