“Dune,” “The Matrix Resurrections,” “Nightmare Alley” and “A Quiet Place Part II” each received three nominations for the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ 69th annual Golden Reel Awards, which were announced on Monday morning.

Other films receiving nominations in the top Golden Reel film categories were “Last Night in Soho,” “No Time to Die,” “The Power of the Dog,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” “Belfast,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” “In the Heights,” “West Side Story” and “tick, tick…BOOM!”

Every film on the Oscars shortlist for the Best Sound category received at least one nomination, with “Nightmare Alley” landing three even though it didn’t make the cut with the Academy’s Sound Branch.

The nominations covered 17 different film, television, game and student categories.

The Golden Reel Awards ceremony will take place virtually this year on Sunday, March 13. At that event, director Ron Howard will receive the 2022 MPSE Filmmaker Award, while Anthony “Chic” Chiccolini III will receive the Career Achievement Award.
