The Cinema Audio Society has announced its nominees for the 53rd Annual Cas Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing for 2016 in seven categories.
On the film side, strong contenders like “La La Land,” “Rogue One” and “Zootopia” picked up nods, while television series like “Game of Thrones,” “blackish” and “Stranger Things” also received nominations. For the first year, the Cas is honoring Documentary films, with nods like “O.J.: Made in America” and “13th” rounding out this inaugural category.
Missing from the film nods are more than a few surprises, including “Deepwater Horizon,” “The Jungle Book” and “Silence.”
“We are blessed this year with a rich portfolio of Cinema Audio art applied. As the creative contributions of sound mixing to modern filmmaking becomes more obvious to the world at large, these productions truly represent the talents of our community,” said Mark Ulano, Cas President, of the announcement.

Tremors? Nightbreed? Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat? 976-evil? Are all on the list this year. And though there were not huge horror wins in sound editing through screenplays, the Technical Awards never cease to bring out the horror veterans. Notably Tim Drnec who contributed to such VHS classics as Alien Seed, Destroyer, and Prison won for his work on “Spydercam 3D volumetric suspended cable camera technologies.” An award also shared with Ben Britten Smith and Matt Davis who both also worked on Constantine.
But among all the winners, the Academy also honored some great loses in 2010. And though they mentioned some of our heroes, Dennis Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and Dino de Laurentiis (King Kong), they did not mention Zelda Rubinstein or Corey Haim. But we will in this last section and the others lost to us last year.
So farewell fight fans and remember,...

Did the Oscars surprise anyone? Sci-Fi fans, we are of course still sore over Christopher Nolan’s snub for Best Director, but Inception still was recognized with four Oscars. Genre highlights from the 83rd Academy Awards also include Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland sweeping away the two coveted design awards in Art Direction and Costume Design and The Wolfman won for Best Makeup. Pixar‘s Toy Story 3 took home Best Animated Film and Best Song.
This Sunday’s broadcast of the 83rd Academy Awards on ABC attempted to reach out to a “younger crowd” with its choice of hosts, Anne Hathaway and James Franco, but the live broadcast dropped 9% in overall ratings compared to last year’s broadcast and down 12% in the 18-49 adult demographic. Still, the show entertained 37.6 million viewers with a show full of exposition to educate new viewers about the history of past Oscar winners.

If you missed the broadcast of the 83rd Academy Awards, or you can't remember who won what, here is a list of all the winners in their categories. The King's Speech and Inception both tied for the most Oscars won, which was four statues each. However, whereas Inception took home awards for technical categories (Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound and Best Cinematography), The King's Speech won three of the top four categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay).
Best Picture:
Black Swan (Fox Searchlight Pictures), Mike Medavoy, Brian Oliver and Scott Franklin, Producers The Fighter (Paramount Pictures), David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman and Mark Wahlberg, Producers Inception (Warner Bros.

In a surge reminiscent of its late-breaking Oscar season momentum, The King’s Speech triumphed at the 2011 Academy Awards, winning three of the final four categories including Best Picture, Best Actor (Colin Firth), and Best Director (Tom Hooper). The magnificent British drama took home four golden statues on Sunday, tieing Christopher Nolan’s Inception for the most Oscars, and narrowly beating critic favorite and three-time winner The Social Network.
Hosted by a smug, sleepy James Franco and a cheery, happy-to-be-there Anne Hathaway, the 3+ hour ceremony felt like an eternity. The next-generation actors were supposed to liven what is traditionally a stuffy telecast, but their monologue and subsequent appearances lacked the classy zingers of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin’s banter or the pep of Hugh Jackman’s show.
Further attempts to appeal to a populist crowd, such as autotuning some of 2010’s big blockbusters or quipping about Charlie Sheen, fell flat,...

It’s Oscar time as the 83rd Academy Awards are about to start in Los Angeles and though the whispers on the wind blowing through Hollywood are telling us that these are the most easily predicted Oscars in years I’m still holding out for one or two surprises.

Football has the Super Bowl, baseball has the World Series, soccer has the World Cup and movies have the Academy Awards. Each year, Hollywood's schedule more or less culminates with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handing out Oscars for the year's best films and Sunday, for the 83rd straight time, it happened again. Hosts James Franco [1] and Anne Hathaway [2] helped some of the most famous actors and actresses [3] in the world hand out the hardware for the best of 2010. Leading the pack with twelve total nominations [4] was The King's Speech, followed by True Grit with ten, Inception and The Social Network with eight, The Fighter with seven, 127 Hours with six, Black Swan and Toy Story 3 with five and The Kids Are all Right and Winter's Bone with four. And those just so happen to be the 10 films nominated for Best Picture. Did your favorite film take home an Oscar?...

It's hard to predict the winners of this year's Oscars because there is no clear-cut favorite. Last year, Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" started strong during awards season and maintained its dominance all the way to its Oscar best picture victory. This year, David Fincher's "The Social Network" triumphed in the beginning but the Oscar buzz surrounding the movie is slowly fading away.
But I still have my favorites and I will attempt to handicap the Oscars. Here are my predictions of who should take home Oscar gold at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

The Oscar nominations have been announced and it’s great to see Inception, Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Iron Man 2, Tangled, Tron, and Wolfman being honored this year. This year’s nominations hit the familiar marks that the sci-fi genre is most associated with in the categories of special effects, art direction, animation, costuming, and make-up.
Inception is the most visibly well-rounded in achievements in film-making and leads the sci-fi/fantasy pack with eight nominations, though director Christopher Nolan was snubbed in the Best Director nominations. Toy Story 3 follows with an impressive five nominations, and both films garnered nominations in the Best Picture category.
Check out the breakdown of the nominations by film, followed by a listing of all nominations by category. [Sci-fi nominees in bold]

Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech lead the Oscar nominations this morning with twelve mentions, making the regal drama the film to beat at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on February 27.
The Coen brothers’ True Grit followed closely with ten nominations and early frontrunner The Social Network finished with eight. “Ten seems like an awful lot,” the Coen brothers said in a joint statement Tuesday. ”We don’t want to take anyone else’s.”
All three were included in the “Best Picture” category, as expected, along with several other awards shoo-ins like The Kids Are All Right and Toy Story 3 (only the third animated film ever in the category). Winter’s Bone was the only surprise in the field of ten, possibly edging out Ben Affleck’s critically-acclaimed The Town or Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go, which were both snubbed from the ceremony entirely.

“True Grit” came in second place with 10 nominations.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences followed up the HFPA’s predictable Golden Globes with a slate of predictable nominations of their own.

Okay. For most, this is not really that important. For us (for some unknown reason) the Academy Awards, and yes, even the nomination announcements, are marked days in our calendar. Since we gained the capacity to retain memories we’ve watched the Oscars and rooted for our favourite flicks… and by rooted we mean bet on the winners in hopes of walking away both Oscar prediction champion and with a few extra bucks in our pocket. This year the road starts here with the full list of nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards.
Before we get to the list we obviously have to add our two cents… The King’s Speech reigns supreme with the most noms (12 in total) and deservedly so But we think it will have a hard time winning anything except Best Actor for Colin Firth. Some surprises you may notice are no Christopher Nolan/Inception for Best Director,...

Your full list of 2011 Oscar nominees, complete with my rambly, obvious predictions. Feel free to leave your own reactions / predictions in the comments: Best Picture Black Swan The Fighter Inception The Kids Are Alright The King’s Speech 127 Hours The Social Network Toy Story 3 True Grit Winter’s Bone - Has to be Social Network unless the Academy goes out of its way to push against the Globes, in which case Black Swan has an outside shot. The King’s Speech is too relatively obscure to win the year after Hurt Locker – they’ll probably tend towards a more generally well-known film, plus Social Network double-rewards David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin. Two birds with one awkward stone that we had no idea would be such a juggernaut when we first heard about the idea of the movie and chuckled.

The nominations are in for this year’s Academy Awards and some of them are surprising. First off there was a lot of expected love for The King’s Speech, The Social Network, and many others that lit up the Golden Globes. I was really surprised with the love the Academy gave to The Coen Brothers this year; I mean True Grit is a good movie, not great and certainly not as good as many of them movies we saw this year. I was really happy to see Michelle Williams get the nod for her performance in Blue Valentine as well as young, Jennifer Lawrence for her performance in Winter’s Bone. I am still amazed how Chris Nolan gets snubbed every year for Best Director, I mean it is almost a crime against humanity that happens with so many great movies he has done. The issue I have is...

In what has to be a shocking development, Christopher Nolan was snubbed in the Best Director category for his brilliant work on Inception. This is the second time that Christopher Nolan has gotten snubbed. I wonder what he has to do to get nominated. Inception still made it into the ten along with 127 Hours, Black Swan, The Fighter, True Grit, Winter’s Bone, Toy Story 3, The King’s Speech, The Kids Are All Right, and True Grit. The highlight for me was seeing the great John Hawkes picking up a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his brilliant performance in Winter’s Bone. Here is the list of nominations with my analysis coming later on today. The King’s Speech led the way with 12 nominations while True Grit finished in second with 10 nominations.

The nominees for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards have been announced. As expected, big players include The Social Network and The King's Speech, but there are very strong showings for The Kids Are All Right, The Fighter and True Grit. The Best Picture nominees are: Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The King's Speech, 127 Hours, The Social Network, Toy Story 3, True Grit, and Winter's Bone. If you're going by the numbers, The King's Speech is strong with 12, followed by a wonderful 10 for True Grit and then 8 for both The Social Network and Inception, with the latter scoring on technical nominations. The full list of nominees is after the break. While Inception did manage to squeeze into the Best Picture race, Christopher Nolan didn't get a Best Director slot. Glad that Javier Bardem got his nod for Biutiful, and that True Grit shows up as strong as it does.

The granddaddy of the awards season, the Academy Awards, has unveiled its nominations for the 83rd Oscars! While the usual suspects were given nods, there were still a few surprises. Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem squeezed in and bumped Robert Duvall out from the Best Actor category. Duvall's performance in "Get Low" is nominated for a SAG award but the Academy chose Bardem in his foreign-language nominated film, "Biutiful."
Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" garnered 12 nominations including Best Picture. The riveting film will compete against "The Fighter," "Inception," "The Kids Are All Right," "127 Hours," "The Social Network," "Toy Story 3," "True Grit," and "Winter's Bone."
Yes, Ben Affleck's "The Town" was ignored except for Jeremy Renner's Best Supporting actor nomination. He will duke it out with front runner, "The Fighter's" Christian Bale, and John Hawkes ("Winter's Bone"), Mark Ruffalo ("The Kids Are All Right"), and Geoffrey Rush ("The King's Speech").

The 83rd Academy Awards will take place on the 27th of February this year and the nominations have just been announced and the debate can begin.
Last year Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker defied all expectations and won Best Picture and Best Director, Jeff Bridges got his Oscar and Christoph Waltz made a lot of friends with a gracious acceptance speech.
Pixar will hope to follow their 2010 Best Animated Oscar win for Up with the runaway success of Lee Unkrich’s Toy Story 3 sure to end with a little gold man. Inception, Black Swan, David Fincher’s The Social Network and The King’s Speech will be fighting their corners on the night and we’re hoping Colin Firth gets the nod when the 2011 Oscar for Best Actor is announced.

So it’s The King’s Speech that sits high and mighty as the recipient of the most Oscar nominations, a whopping 12, including Best Picture, Best Director (Tom Hooper), Best Actor (Colin Firth) and Best Supporting Actress (Helena Bonham Carter) and this signals that it could now prove to be the film to beat, more so than The Social Network (8 noms), which for a long time was seen as a lock.
True Grit managed a surprising 10 votes and the Old-fashioned Western is proving much more well liked than at the Globes.
Elsewhere, the voting went pretty much as we expected with very few shocks, except perhaps that Chris Nolan wasn’t nominated for Best Director! His film Inception was (8 noms in total), but Nolan’s place instead was taken by the Coens (True Girt) and David O Russell (The Fighter) who were both seen as relative outsiders. Speaking personally and...
