P.K. Hooker, Will Files & Paul 'Salty' Brincat for The Invisible Man

Ren Klyce, Jeremy Molod, David Parker, Nathan Nance & Drew Kunin for Mank

Jaime Baksht, Nicolas Becker, Phillip Bladh, Carlos Cortés Navarrete & Michelle Couttolenc for Sound of Metal

AND THE WINNER:


JAMIE BAKSHT, NICOLAS BECKER, PHILLIP BLADH, CARLOS CORTÉS NAVARRETE & MICHELLE COUTTOLENC FOR SOUND OF METAL

These are the first wins and nominations for Nicolas Becker, Phillip Bladh, Carlos Cortés Navarrete & Michelle Couttolenc. Jaime Basksht also wins his first after being previously nominated for Pan's Labyrinth (2006).

Similar to how the academy has combined the sound categories back into one singular award I too have chosen to and honestly speaking even if the awards were still divided I think mostly likely I might've awarded both prizes to Sound of Metal. When a film includes sound in its title it's likely that the craft will play an integral part in the film and that is absolutely true of the film Sound of Metal. The film is about a man who is experiencing a late in life deaf diagnosis and the films sound only helps to highlight the main character's journey by mostly putting you in the place of someone going through such challenging times to adapt.

From the very beginning of the film sound and how it's used plays just as important a role as any other member of the film that the work by those mentioned above is rather impressive.
