This year’s marquee CAS Live Action Motion Picture category featured sound artisans from two of the five of this year’s Best Sound Oscar nominees in Oppenheimer and Netflix’s Maestro. They were joined in tonight’s race by Warner Bros’ Barbie, Neon’s Ferrari and Apple’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

Last year, Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick won in the category. It went on to repeat the feat at the Oscars.

In addition to Oppenheimer and Maestro, this year’s Oscar nominees in the Sound category include Disney’s The Creator, Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and A24’s The Zone of Interest. That winner will be decided March 10 at the Academy Awards.

As for tonight’s other film categories, Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse won for Motion Picture – Animated, while Sam Green’s 32 Sounds, appropriately, won for Documentary, topping a field that included the sound mixers from the 2023 concert film phenomenon Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

FX’s The Bear, which has swept to major wins at the Emmys and SAG Awards among other honors, won for Half Hour TV series, submitting Season 2’s episode “Forks.” HBO’s The Last of Us won for One Hour TV series for its pilot episode.

Also tonight, the Roku Channel’s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story has won in the Non-Theatrical Motion Picture or Limited Series category, while HBO’s 100 Foot Wave won in the Non-Fiction, Variety or Music category.

Tom Papa hosted the Beverly Hilton-set ceremony, which also honored JJ Abrams with the society’s Filmmaker of the Year award and Joe Earle (American Horror Story, Six Feet Under) with the CAS Career Achievement Award.
