The Sound Editing award last year went to American Sniper, while Whiplash wasn't nominated in this category. This suggests we're looking for films that aren't music-based, per se, but employ expert audio skills in other ways (such as epic space battles and/or shoot-outs)... Predicted Nominees: The Hateful Eight Inside Out Mad Max: Fury Road The Revenant (Predicted Winner) Star Wars: The Force Awakens Other Possibilities: Sicario Straight Outta Compton The Martian
