‘Birdman,’ ‘Planet of the Apes’ Tops in Sound Editing Nominations

“American Sniper,” “Interstellar” and “Unbroken” also receive key nominations from Motion Picture Sound Editors

“Birdman” and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” led all films in nominations for the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Golden Reel Awards, which were announced on Wednesday afternoon.

The two films each received three nominations in the MPSE’s seven categories. “Unbroken,” “Whiplash,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Interstellar” each received two nominations, with 24 other films receiving single noms.

In the Sound Effects and Foley in an English Language Feature category, which typically contains all or most of the Oscar sound-editing nominees, the MPSE nominees were “American Sniper,” “Birdman,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” “Fury,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Interstellar” and “Unbroken.”

Because the MPSE hands out separate awards for sound effects, dialogue and ADR and music, its nominations typically include all the Oscar nominees in the single sound editing category, plus many other films.

In the television categories, shows with multiple nominations included “Game of Thrones,” “Houdini,” “True Detective,” “Fargo,” “The Normal Heart,” “Klondike” and “Lizzie Borden Took an Ax.”

The 62nd Golden Reel Awards will be held on Feb. 15 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites in Los Angeles. Darren Aronofsky will receive the 2015 MPSE Filmmaker Award, while Skip Lievsay will receive the Career Achievement Award.
