Sound awards/FIlm editing
Hm. “The Dark Knight” was well done and Richard King is an outstanding sound designer (he also did “War of the Worlds”), but I really would have preferred “WALL-E” Here. Ah well. No biggie.
WOW! “Slumdog” takes the sound mixing award! It’s well-deserved, actually, the movie DOES sound great, but I thought “WALL-E” or “Dark Knight” would take this. That just goes to show how strong the “Slumdog” love is. First real surprise of the evening.
However, it is NOT a surprise to see Chris Dickens win, his editing was truly outstanding. He used a lot of very clever match cuts to keep a clear view of the storyline, even as he was veering between time periods and settings. Sterling work.
