‘The Revenant’ & ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Tie At 2016 Golden Reel Awards: MPSE Winners List

The sound editing teams for Game Of Thrones were the biggest winners tonight at at the 63rd Golden Reel Awards, taking home trophies for Best Sound Editing: TV Short Form – Dialogue/ADR and Best Sound Editing: TV Short Form – FX/Foley. But the biggest drama came on the film side of things, as the sound editors on Oscar Best Picture nominees The Revenant and Mad Max: Fury Road tied for Best Sound Editing: Feature English Language – FX/Foley. That the two films jointly claimed the same prize won’t have any bearing on tomorrow’s Academy Awards battle, but surely George Miller & co. will end awards season feeling pretty good about the impact Fury Road had after the long, expensive and skeptical road it faced over the near-decade it took to get made.

The MPSE’s 2016 Filmmaker Award went to Sam Raimi, while three-time Oscar winner Richard King nabbed the Career Achievement Award. King has taken home Academy Awards in sound editing for Christopher Nolan’s films Inception and The Dark Knight, and on Peter Weir’s Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World., and he’s been nominated two other times. He’s has worked on every Nolan film since The Prestige and did two films with Paul Thomas Anderson, and he has credits going back to 1983, among them Gattaca, Hard Eight, Magnolia, Singles, L.A. Story, Thor and many others.

The Golden Reels honor the year’s best work in the various areas of sound editing: Dialogue & ADR, Effects & Foley, and Music. Here is the complete list of winners:
