Oscars 2024: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)
17. Best Sound
Nominees:
The Creator
Maestro
Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning
Oppenheimer
The Zone of Interest
Sound plays a massive part in this year's Oscar nominees - the creeping anguished screams of The Zone of Interest, the enveloping orchestral sequences in Maestro - but no film's sound has left a bigger impact this year than Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.
Booming, intense, building toward inevitable tragedy, Oppenheimer's sound captures the horror and pain of its story with often chilling results, whether it's making the outside world silent to explore Oppenheimer's personal anguish or, in the film's great auditory highlight, letting off a bomb in the desert. No surprises will be found here.
