Oscars 2020: Predicting All The Nominees

17. Sound Editing

Conversely, sound editing is about the creation of individual sound effects such as explosions, gunshots, and so on, and so typically also favours loud tentpole fare - though more subtle films such as Roma have also been nominated here.

Generally this doesn't deviate much from Sound Mixing bar maybe one entry, but without many smaller films picking up much steam for their unique sound work this year, it feels like there might be total parity between the two fields.

Nominees:

1917

Avengers: Endgame

Ford v Ferrari

Rocketman

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
