The 55th annual Motion Picture Sound Editor’s Golden Reel awards acknowledging the year’s best work in the various areas of sound editing, were held last night in Los Angeles with the sound team from The Bourne Ultimatum claiming both dialog/ADR and effects and foley awards. Into the Wild rambled on with a music editing win while Hairspray danced all the way up to the stage accepting their award for best musical editorial.
