A few days back the society had their awards ceremony and according to twitter buzz, it was too-long as ceremony took over three and a half hours to present 7 awards and 4 honorary awards ... (LOL!). Just imagine presenting 23 or more awards using this ratio! The top sound mixing award went to Dunkirk, a film that lost MPSE sound editing to Blade Runner 2049; so, perhaps Oscars will behave alike, with mixing to Dunkirk and editing to Blade Runner 2049. Winners are in * BLUE .  To check winners in all categories go official site here . ---///--- 1/11/18 Yesterday CAS announced the nominees for the 2018 edition of the awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing.  The award is given in seven categories and also announced the Outstanding Product nominations. " The CAS would like to congratulate all our nominees for their fine work in 2017. The standard of excellence from our creative community is on display for all to hear and we are delighted to be blessed with this yea...

It's over we know all winners and there are some very-pleasant surprises.  Spontaneously will share some perceptions, first the big Festival winners seems to be Brazil Cinema; Latin America also did really good but is Paraguay who conquers Berlinale 2018 with a film that obviously I'm "dying" to see (now more that know has to have the necessary quality). Then, no doubt female directors did really well in this edition as hopefully is because they do great films; yes, seems that when festival programmers are "forced" to include female directors, great films, films that win top awards have not only accolades but a better-chance to be seen by audiences around the world.  Great. Will finish post tomorrow as is a bit late for me... Competition Golden Bear for Best Film : Nu mă atinge-mă (Touch Me Not), Adina Pintille, Romania, Germany, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and France Silver Bear Jury Grand Prize : Twarz (mug), Malgorzata Szumowska, Poland Silver Bear Alfred ...

A few days back the group had their awards ceremony where Dunkirk and Blade Runner 2049 won top awards that could suggest could do good at Oscars category.  But the Oscar equivalent category for sound editing is Sound Editing Effects and Foley which was won by Blade Runner 2049 which makes film the favorite to win on March 4th. "All of us who work creatively in sound are storytellers," MPSE president Tom McCarthy in his opening address. "We assist filmmakers, directors and producers in weaving soundtracks into visual presentations. We support the dialogue and emotion of stories. Tonight, we renew our yearly tradition of celebrating the art of sound in all areas of multi-media entertainment. We recognize the contributions of sound artists to features; television, cable and streaming programming; gaming; and multi-media—content that has reached audiences in every country, state, and community around the world."

A few days back BAFTA had their awards ceremony and followed the awards winners via twitter to later watch the TV broadcast with a ceremony that was a succession of awards presented by cinema personalities and was kind of boring with exception of the outstanding beginning with the Cirque du Soleil doing The Shape of Water inspired presentation. Truth is that got interested in finding via twitter which film was winning what; but when became obvious that the big winner of the night was going to be 3B's completely lost me and my interest as do not particularly enjoyed that film.  Sigh. Yes, the big winner of the night was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri as collected five statues and most were top awards as Best Film, Best British Film, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay.  The Shape of Water had the most nominations but collected only three with only one top award, Best Director to Guillermo del Toro who becomes frontrunner/favorite to win s...

Last night was the awards ceremony which was more likely a drag (?) show.  Perhaps I'm starting (lol) to get older but this type of show absolutely is not my cup-of-tea, much less the show by the group that won the documentary award.  Sigh. Nevertheless I'm glad the ceremony was streamed live as it's easier to follow winners this way than only via twitter. Regarding the winners it's interesting that FIPRESCI found the Paraguay movie the "best" in competition and this award jury gave film no honors, except becoming one of the three nominees, that assume means, finalists.  Brazil becomes the cinema country with more honors in this edition as wins top award and documentary award. There was a new award given this year, Teddy Newcomer Award given to a first or second feature-lenght film with a queer subject matter.  Retablo by Alvaro Delgado Aparicio wins the first edition of this award. Will list winners with the respective Jury Statement for easier reference. Bes...

Last Tuesday February 13 the Visual Effects Society held the awards ceremony that recognizes outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation in film, animation, television, commercials, video games and special venues. Patton Oswalt sever as host for the 7th to the guests gathered at the Beverly Hilton to celebrate talent in 24 awards categories. President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige presented the VES Lifetime Achievement Award to acclaimed producer-writer-director Jon Favreau.  Academy-Award winning producer Jon Landau presented the Georges Méliès Award to Academy Award-winning visual effects master Joe Letteri. The well-deserved film categories big winners of the night, War for the Planet of the Apes and Coco collected each four awards. Wish VES top winner goes to win category Oscar as film absolutely deserves recognition for how much is changing visual effects in film; but, wonder if the Academy will recognize it as most pundits predict front-runner is Blade R...
