Hollywood, Calif. (March 4, 2024)—The Motion Picture Sound Editors has announced the winners of the 71st Annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards.
The MPSE ceremony was held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles and was hosted by Patton Oswalt. The Golden Reels honor sound artists and their contributions to the past year’s most outstanding feature film, television, animation, computer entertainment and student productions.
Oppenheimer added to its armloads of awards this season with two Golden Reels for effects/Foley and dialog/ADR in the feature sound editing categories. The film won a Cinema Audio Society Award the previous night for sound mixing, has recently collected numerous other awards for sound and is hotly tipped for the best sound Oscar.
Peter Parker’s alter-ego also picked up a pair of awards, with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse winning for feature animation sound editing while Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was recognized in the games effects/Foley sound editing category.
Director, writer and producer Michael Dinner, known for his work on The Wonder Years, Chicago Hope and Justified: City Primeval, received the MPSE Filmmaker Award. Dane A.
