The Motion Picture Sound Editors learned to stop worrying and love the bomb this year. That’s the takeaway from the organization’s nominees for their 71st annual Golden Reel Awards, which sees Christopher Nolan’s nuclear blockbuster smash “Oppenheimer” decidedly lead the pack.

Held every March, the Golden Reel Awards celebrate sound artists and their achievements in film, television, animation, and video games over the entire calendar year. “Oppenheimer,” which boasted celebrated sound design in its recreation of its titular antihero’s atomic bomb, received the most nominations of any film this year, appearing in all categories it was eligible for: ADR, Foley, and Music Editing.

“Oppenheimer” was one of the 10 films to make the Oscars shortlist for the Best Sound category, ahead of the nomination announcement on January 23. Of the other nine shortlisted contenders, “Barbie,” “Maestro,” and “Naopleon” received two nominations, while “Ferrari,” “The Killer,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and “The Zone of Interest” received one.

On the TV front, HBO apocalyptic drama “The Last of Us” repeated “Oppenheimer’s” hat trick, with three nominations for ADR, Music Editing, and Foley. The popular series recently took home several trophies at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on January 6, including the Sound Editing and Sound Mixing trophies. Other TV shows that received multiple nominations include “The Bear,” “All the Light We Cannot See,” “Ted Lasso,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Loki,” an and “Beef,” all of which nabbed two nominations.

In addition to the competitive awards, MPSE also announced the recepients of their two major honorary awards. Michael Dinner, who most recently developed the FX series “Justified: City Primeval” and directed three episodes, will receive the MPSE Filmmaker Award. The MPSE Career Achievement Award will go to Dane A. Davis, a sound editor with over 150 credits best known for his Oscar-winning work on 1999’s “The Matrix.”

“It’s been a great year for entertainment sound,” MPSE president David Barber said in a statement. “We are so impressed with the creative excellence of sound artists across all media and from around the world. We extend our sincere congratulations to this year’s stellar nominees.”

The 71st Annual MPSE Golden Reel Awards will be held on March 3 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. Take a look at the full list of nominees for TV and film below.
