“Gravity,” “Captain Phillips,” “Frozen” and “The Great Gatsby” all won awards on Sunday night at the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ 61st Golden Reel Awards, which honored sound editing in seven film and 10 television categories.
“Gravity” won in the Sound Effects and Foley category, the Golden Reel area that most closely corresponds to the Oscars’ Best Sound Editing category.
Golden Reel winners in that category have gone on to win the Oscar six times in the last 10 years, and 12 times in the last 20.
