2021 Cinema Audio Society Nominations Unveiled

The Cinema Audio Society have unveiled their nominations for the 58th Annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing in 2021. The nominees for Motion Picture – Live Action are Dune, No Time to Die, The Power of the Dog, Spider-Man: No Way Home and West Side Story. Last year, all five nominees for Best Sound at the Academy Awards scored a nod from CAS.

Director and producer Sir Ridley Scott will receive the Cinema Audio Society Filmmaker Award, while sound mixer Paul Massey will be honoured with the CAS Career Achievement Award.

“This year’s nominees display incredible skill and craftsmanship,” says CAS President Karol Urban. “We received submissions reflecting a myriad of narrative styles and technical approaches. The ingenuity and storytelling expertise of our sound mixing community is truly spectacular.”
