OUTSTANDING SOUND FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

The Americans (“The Summit”)

Game of Thrones ("The Spoils of War")

Stranger Things ("Chapter Nine: The Gate")

Twin Peaks ("Part 11")

Westworld (“Journey Into Night”)

AND THE WINNER IS:

TWIN PEAKS (“PART 11”)

This is the first win and nomination for Ronald Eng, Dean Hurley, David A. Cohen, Kerry Dean Williams, Luke Gibleon & Willard Overstreet. This is also the first win and third nomination for Douglas Axtell who was previously nominated sound for Alias (2004-2005). This is also David Lynch’s second win and nomination. He also won for his performance on Louie (2013).

Yet another win for the team behind Twin Peaks. I could’ve easily singled out the entire series of Twin Peaks for a wonderful journey through sound design. The sound really elevated the entire narrative being used to trick and treat you throughout the run of episodes. I especially loved moments of weirdness that occurred throughout the series and how the sound team leveled the sound effects to invest the audience in the unusualness of the multiple weird moments.
