Award Season and some appearances

Hello again...long time no see!
Hey a quick update on some of the goings-on that have involved Episode III (the sound specifically)..

Episode III won "Best Sound (Mixing and Editing) at the 10th Annual International Press Academy Golden Satellite awards.
http://www.pressacademy.com/satawards/ipa-satelliteawards-winners.html

We have also been recognized in the top seven films in consideration for Achievement in Sound Editing for the 78th Academy Awards, 2005 Oscar.

The Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) has also nominated us for a 2006 Golden Reel Award for Best Sound Editing in Feature Film: Sound Effects and Foley
http://mpse.org/goldenreels/featurenominees.html

The whole Star Wars sound crew is totally honored with these awards and considerations. There were some great sounding tracks out there in 2005, and it is wonderful to be recognized among them.

On a Grievous note, Dave Acord (Medical Droid GH-7 and Sound Guy Extraordinare) and myself will be appearing at the Hollywood Collectors Show this coming weekend in the L.A. area (Burbank) for a meet and greet with fans!

Fun times. I haven't done any appearances for a while, so I am looking forward to it.

That's all for now..busy week ahead!

date Posted: Jan 24, 2006 5:12 AM Congrats to all in the sound department. So if, and I mean if you guys win the big award, who gets to take it? Ben Burt, you or a bunch of you guys? Just curious and thanks for the great work.

date Posted: Jan 24, 2006 10:28 AM Nice one mate, honours all round (and well deserved, Sith just sounded so lush and rich). Do you still do voice work? I'm trying to get a cast together for a fan audio drama and I could use some help

date Posted: Jan 30, 2006 11:47 AM Congrats to everyone. I've got a question. Would Episode 3 be in the runnings for the Oscars? I mean, it did come out after the Oscars, so it would be possible to have a shot at getting an Oscar, right? My apologies if you didn't quite understand what I just said.
