OUTSTANDING SOUND EDITING

Mark Mangini & Theo Green for Blade Runner 2049
Richard King & Alex Gibson for Dunkirk
Coll Anderson, Craig Henighan & Jill Purdy for mother!
Coya Elliott, Trey Turner & Matthew Wood for Phantom Thread
Will Files & Douglas Murray for War for the Planet of the Apes

AND THE WINNER IS:


COYA ELLIOTT, TREY TURNER & MATTHEW WOOD FOR PHANTOM THREAD

This is the first win and nomination for both Coya Elliott & Trey Turner. Matthew Wood previously won for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) & Wall-E (2008). He was also nominated for There Will Be Blood (2007).

Phantom Thread a 1950's relationship drama is not the film that you would typically expect to have amazing sound work, however, this film did. The louder noises of discomfort especially at breakfast time made the tension building between Woodcock and Alma so playable. I've never heard buttering toast be so loud and so uncomfortable but the work by this sound editors really was impressive. Every added sound effect in this film pushed the story forward as this central relationship was built with walls and stumbles with the sound adding to the believability of this hard relationship.
