The Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards has honored Joker and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with the most feature nominations, signaling guild support that may point toward Oscar nominations for both films.
Todd Phillips' crime drama and Quentin Tarantino's ode to the Hollywood of yore earned three nominations apiece, just ahead of Ford v Ferrari, Jojo Rabbit, Rocketman, Avengers: Endgame, and Disney's Frozen 2.
Other nominated films include The Lion King, which will compete in the animated feature category against its studio compadre Frozen 2, Pixar's Toy Story 4, DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Blue Sky's Abominable, LAIKA's Missing Link, Sony Pictures Animation's Spies in Disguise and GKIDS' White Snake.
Elsewhere, Cats was nominated for Best Musical, while Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was nominated for effects/Foley, one of several feature categories along with dialogue/ADR and music underscore. David Acord and Matthew Wood of Skywalker Sound, who served as supervising sound editors on Rise of Skywalker, also picked up two nominations for The Mandalorian, and one for Star Wars: Resistance. It was a solid haul for the intergalactic franchise, which also earned noms for Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run.
On the TV side, Game of Thrones and Vikings led the way with three nominations apiece. The 67th Golden Reel Awards will be presented Jan. 19, and Marvel's Victoria Alonso will be presented the Filmmaker Award at the ceremony.
