The music -focused biopiken “A complete unknown” has been honored for its sound mixture at the 61st annual Audio Audio Society Awards, which took place Saturday at Beverly Hilton.
Bob Dylan movie is one of two CAS winners who are also nominated for the Academy Award for best sound, the other is the CAS animation winner, “The Wild Robot.”
Since 2020, when Oscars combined its best sound mix and best sound editing categories in a single best sound category, the CAS winner has won Oscar every year. Before that, the CAS winner would take Oscar to mix about half the time.
The award for documentary function went to “Music by John Williams”, who won in a music -dominated category; Other nominees included “Elton John: never too late” and “I am: Celine Dion.” The TV category TV fiction won by the music-centered “Beatles “64.”
In the other TV categories, Emmy favorites “Shōgun” and “The Bear” continued their winning ways. The World War IIan “Masters of the Air” took the prize for limited series.
Also at the exhibition, the audio mixer Tod A. Maitland, a seven-o’clock CAS nominee which was among the winning team from “A Complete Unknown” and was also nominated for TV’s “Fallout”, received the 2024 Career Achievement Award.
