Hollywood, CA (March 6, 2023)—The Cinema Audio Society announced its 59th Annual CAS Awards on Sat., March 4, with the sound team for Top Gun: Maverick taking the top honor in a category with the exact same contenders as this year’s Oscar sound competition.
Top Gun: Maverick’s team — production mixer Mark Weingarten, re-recording mixers Chris Burdon and Mark Taylor, scoring mixers Al Clay and Stephen Lipson, and Foley mixer Blake Collins — beat out the sound teams on All Quiet on the Western Front, Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis and The Batman to take the CAS Award in the motion picture live action category. The CAS Award nominees are uniquely chosen by sound mixers to celebrate excellence in sound mixing for film and television. The Oscar race combines mixing and editing into a single motion picture sound category.
Other CAS Award film and TV sound team winners on the night included Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Moonage Daydream, Better Call Saul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Only Murders in the Building and Formula 1: Drive to Survive.
