OUTSTANDING SOUND FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Fosse/Verdon ("Glory")
Game of Thrones (“The Long Night”)
The Haunting of Hill House (“The Bent-Neck Lady”)
Sharp Objects (“Dirt”)
When They See Us (“Part 4”)

AND THE WINNER IS:

GAME OF THRONES ("THE LONG NIGHT")

This is the fourth win and eighth nomination for the Game of Thrones sound department. They won for their sound work on Season 1-3 and were also nominated for Season 4-7.

While ultimately disappointed by just about everything regarding these final Game of Thrones episodes a lot of the technical departments of the show cannot really be knocked down. The dark battle episode this season while slightly underwhelming was an incredible achievement in television production.  Just thinking about the dying sounds and lights as armies charge into battle has really stuck out in my mind. Other spectacular sound moments in this particular episode include the large flying dragon fight, the death of the white walkers and the ultimate sound of death that spreads throughout the entire episode when our heroes defeat the great evil the show had been building since it's pilot.
