The Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) professional organization has announced the winners of the 72nd Annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards, honoring outstanding achievement in sound editing, sound design, music editing and foley artistry in film, television and gaming. Winners were announced at the annual gala at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles.
Patton Oswalt served as the evening’s host, marking the third time he’s hosted the Golden Reel Awards, while MPSE President David Barber presided over the festivities. Two honorary awards were also presented: Kevin Costner received the Filmmaker Award and supervising sound editor Greg Hedgepath, MPSE received the Career Achievement Award.
