‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ ‘A Quiet Place’ Take Top Sound Editing Honors at the MPSE Golden Reel Awards
“Bohemian Rhapsody” and “A Quiet Place” split the top sound editing prizes Sunday at the 66th annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards. “Bohemian Rhapsody” took Dialogue/ADR and Musical honors while the innovative “A Quiet Place” scored for Effects/Foley at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.
This sets up a competitive Oscar race down to the wire next Sunday between the two frontrunners. But there’s also a good chance that the popular Freddie Mercury biopic will sweep both categories as a result of its CAS sound mixing victory on Saturday.

TV winners included “Westworld” (“The Riddle of the Sphinx”), “Altered Carbon” (“Out of the Past”), “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (“We’re Going to the Catskills”), “The Americans” (“Harvest”), “American Horror Story” (“The End”), “Atlanta” (“Teddy Perkins”), and “Phillip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams.”
