Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) congratulates its award-winning and nominated
customers for their creative achievements at this year’s
prestigious entertainment industry awards, including the Oscars®,
BAFTAs and the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddies. A vast
majority of productions recognized across categories were crafted
using Media Composer® and Pro Tools®, the audio and video creation
tools that film and TV professionals rely on.
All of the nominees for the Oscar® for Best Sound at the 95th
Academy Awards used Pro Tools, including the winner Top Gun:
Maverick (Mark Weingarten, James H. Mather, Al Nelson, Chris Burdon
and Mark Taylor). Other nominees included Avatar: The Way of Water
(Julian Howarth, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Dick Bernstein,
Christopher Boyes, Gary Summers and Michael Hedges); The Batman
(Stuart Wilson, William Files, Douglas Murray and Andy Nelson);
Elvis (David Lee, Wayne Pashley, Andy Nelson and Michael Keller);
and All Quiet on the Western Front (Viktor Prásil, Frank Kruse,
Markus Stemler, Lars Ginzel and Stefan Korte), which won the BAFTA
for Best Sound.
Nine out of the 10 nominees for the Oscar for Best Picture were
edited with Media Composer. Four out of the five nominees for the
Oscar for Best Film Editing used Media Composer, including Top Gun:
Maverick, edited by Eddie Hamilton, ACE, whose work previously
earned him an ACE Eddie Award for Best Edited Dramatic Feature Film
in addition to a BAFTA nomination. Other nominees for the Oscar for
Best Film Editing included Banshees of Inisherin (Mikkel E.G.
Nielsen, ACE); Elvis (Matt Villa and Johnathan Redmond); and Tár
(Monika Willi). Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio won the Oscar for
Animated Feature Film and also scooped up the ACE Eddie Award for
Best Edited Animated Feature Film (Ken Schretzmann, ACE, and Holly
Klein) and the BAFTA for Best Animated Film.
Highlighting the welcomed return of all craft award categories
to the live Oscars telecast, Avid was invited to provide a complete
Media Composer setup on stage, representing state of the art
technology for the moment that honored the history and craft of
film editing.
