The Motion Picture Sound Editors have announced the winners of the 68th Golden Reel Awards where Greyhound, Soul, Tenet, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 were amongst the big winners. Strangely, Best Sound Oscar frontrunner Sound of Metal left empty-handed, while fellow Oscar nominee News of the World also walked away without a prize.
Director George Miller was presented the MPSE Filmmaker Award, while supervising sound editor Dennis Drummond was awarded the MPSE Career Achievement Award.
