'Blade Runner 2049,' 'Coco,' 'Game of Thrones,' and 'War for the Planet of the Apes' among Golden Reel Awards winners


I told my readers to "Stay tuned for the winners of the MPSE Golden Reel Awards" at the end of 'The Shape of Water,' 'Blade Runner 2049,' and 'Coco' among speculative fiction winners at the BAFTA Awards.  I'm going to let (not really) The Hollywood Reporter do most of my work for me.  Watch Golden Reel Awards: Oscar Nominees 'Blade Runner 2049,' 'Dunkirk' Among Sound Editor Winners.

The Motion Picture Sound Editors spread the wealth at its 65th MPSE Golden Reel Awards, held Sunday ...
They certainly did, as no movie took home more than one award.  The speculative fiction movie winners were "Blade Runner 2049" for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Effects / Foley, "War for the Planet of the Apes" for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Dialogue / ADR, and "Coco" for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Feature Animation.

The speculative fiction winners among live-action television shows were "Game of Thrones" in both Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Episodic Short Form – Effects / Foley and Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Episodic Short Form – Dialogue/ADR for the episode "Spoils of War," "The Mind Flayer" episode of "Stranger Things" for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Episodic Short Form – Music / Musical, and "Black Mirror: USS Callister" for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Episodic Long Form – Dialogue/ADR.  "Lego DC Super Hero Girls" won Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Non-Theatrical Animation Long Form while video game spinoff "Overwatch: Honor and Glory" won Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing - Animation Short Form.

Speaking of video games, three of them won accolades for their sound editing.  "Star Wars: Battlefront II" and "Call of Duty: WWII" tied for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Computer Interactive Game Play.  "Halo Wars 2" won Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Computer Cinematic.  Just like at the Art Directors Guild Awards, "Star Wars: Battlefront II" came through while "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" didn't.

That would be it for the Golden Reel Awards for this year except that I'm planning on mentioning the trophy "Jane" won for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Feature Documentary when I list all of its awards while whining about it being snubbed at the Oscars.  Stay tuned for that after I report on the winners of the the Costume Designers Guild Awards.
