The Motion Picture Sound Editors held the last guild ceremony of awards season on Saturday night, the Golden Reel Awards, with Oscar sound-editing nominees “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “The Revenant” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” all winning awards.

“Mad Max” and “The Revenant” tied in the category that most closely resembles the Oscar Best Sound Editing category: Best Sound Editing: Sound Effects and Foley in a Feature Film.

The two films are considered the two frontrunners for the Oscar in that category.

“Star Wars” won for the sound editing of its musical score.

Other feature films that received awards in the Golden Reels’ seven film categories were “Bridge of Spies,” for dialogue and ADR; “Love & Mercy,” for music in a musical feature; and “Inside Out,” “Son of Saul” and “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” for sound editing in an animated feature, foreign-language film and documentary feature, respectively.

In the television categories, “Game of Thrones” won two awards, while other honors went to “House of Cards,” “Empire,” “Bessie,” “Texas Rising” and “Saints and Strangers.”

The Golden Reel Awards were held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites in downtown Los Angeles. The MPSE Career Achievement Award was given to Richard King, while the MPSE Filmmaker Award went to director Sam Raimi.
