14. Achievement In Sound Mixing
The Nominees: American Sniper, Birdman, Interstellar, Unbroken, Whiplash Who Will Win? Birdman Who Should Win? Whiplash Sound mixing became a mainstream concern in 2014 thanks to Interstellar, which irritatingly had key moments of dialogue overshadowed by Hans Zimmer's score. It was one of the film's real downsides, and yet has somehow earned it an Oscar nomination. Crazy. It's a hard category to crack without having an ear out through every film in contention, but its likely Birdman'll get this, if only because it's this year's technical darling.
