‘Oppenheimer’ Wins 2 More Prizes at Golden Reel Awards

“Oppenheimer” added to its trophy case on Sunday evening in Los Angeles, winning the top feature-film awards at the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Golden Reel Awards only a few hours after doing the same at the ACE-Eddie Awards and one day after also taking the top sound-mixing award from the Cinema Audio Society.

Christopher Nolan’s epic drama won in the feature dialogue/ADR and feature effects/foley categories, making it the only feature to win multiple Golden Reel Awards. “Maestro” won the award for music editing, “Society of the Snow” won for foreign language feature, “32 Sounds” won for feature documentary, “Pianoforte” won for documentary music editing and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” won for animated feature.

Non-theatrical and broadcast winners included “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “All the Light We Cannot See,” “The Mandalorian,” “The Last of Us,” “Dave,” “The Monkey King” and “Our Planet II,” among others.

The show took place at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles and was hosted by Patton Oswalt. Honorary awards went to director-writer-producer Michael Dinner, who received the Filmmaker Award, and to supervising sound editor and sound designer Dane A. Davis, who received the 2024 Career Achievement Award.
