Motion Picture Sound Editors Announce 2013 Golden Reel Winners
The behind-the-scenes stars were out on Sunday in Hollywood.
The MPSE honored the top achievers in cinema sound — and beyond — last night in LA.
For pure sonic quality in feature films, TV, animation, documentary, and video games, the 60th Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) Golden Reel Awards were held at the Bonaventure Hotel and Suites in Los Angeles. With MPSE President Bobbi Banks presiding, the winners of recognition for outstanding achievement in sound editing were revealed, spanning 22 categories.
Highlights included the honoring of Director Ang Lee with the Filmmaker Award, presented by his Life of Pi collaborators (and current Oscar nominees), editor Tim Squyres, visual effects supervisor Bill Westenhofer and cinematographer Claudio Miranda.
Foley artist John Roesch received the MPSE’s 2013 Career Achievement Award, presented by Charles L. Campbell, the 2012 recipient of the award. Roesch is the first Foley artist to receive MPSE’s Career Achievement Award.
Supervising sound editors Ethan Van der Ryn and Erik Aadahl awarded a special scholarship in the name of the late Oscar-winning sound editor Mike Hopkins. Other presenters for the night included sound artists Jeremy J. Gordon, Joanie Diener, Frank Morrone, Sam Crutcher, Charlie Crutcher, Mark Lanza, Mandell Winter, Glenn T. Morgan, Ben Wilkins, Cece Hall and Doc Kane.
The MPSE is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a wealth of knowledge from award-winning professionals to a diverse group of individuals, youth and career professionals alike – visit the MPSE to learn more about their crucial mission of furthering the craft of sound and music editing.
