Los Angeles, Calif. (March 4, 2024)—The Cinema Audio Society has announced the winners of its 60th Annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing in motion pictures and television.
Oppenheimer‘s sound team continued their winning streak this award season, coming out on top in the motion picture – live action category. The award bodes well for the Oscar prospects of the sound team, whose previous Academy Awards collectively include wins for Dreamgirls, Bird, Dunkirk, Inception and Hacksaw Ridge. Last year’s CAS winner in the category, Top Gun: Maverick, went on to win the Academy Award. However, the Oppenheimer team may face competition from the Oscar-nominated crew behind The Zone of Interest, which just won the BAFTA for best sound.
Multi-award-winning sound mixer Joe Earle, CAS (American Horror Story, Six Feet Under) was honored with the prestigious CAS Career Achievement Award.
The University of Southern California’s Yushu “Doris” Shen won the Student Recognition Award, taking home a check for $5,000. Four fellow student finalists each received $1,000 from the CAS, along with $10,000 in products to help launch their careers in sound from sponsoring companies Acon Digital, Apple, Avid, Ginger Audio, Halter Technical, Izotope, K-Tek, Krotos Audio, Lectrosonics, McDSP, Sound Particles, Shotdeck, Todd-AO/Absentia DX and Zaxcom.
