“Dune,” “Nightmare Alley” and “West Side Story” have won the top feature-film awards at the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ 69th annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards, which took place in a virtual ceremony on Sunday night.
“Dune” won in the Feature Effects/Foley category, which over the years has been the MPSE’s most accurate predictor of Oscar success. “Nightmare Alley” won in the Feature Dialogue/ADR category, while “West Side Story” won in the music category.
Other film awards went to “Raya and the Last Dragon” for animation, “The Rescue” for documentary and “Cliff Walkers” for foreign-language feature.
Television winners included “Succession,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Underground Railroad,” “The Witcher” and “The Beatles Get Back.”
