Predictions: Motion Picture Sound Editors
The other Best Sound feeder is the Motion Picture Sound Editors. After the Sound Editing category was removed, it was rolled into Best Sound and Sound Editors are now nominated alongside Mixers.

7th Hollywood Creative Alliance Awards

15th GALECA Awards

30th Screen Actors Guild Awards
With the final precursor in several categories, the Oscar winners may well be set. Each of the leads needed this award to win the Oscar and they got it. Murphy and Gladstone are still in a tight race with Giamatti and Stone but, in the end, this will likely carry over 100% to the Oscars.…
