The Oscars From The Outside-In Vol. 1 : Sound

This year's crop of Sound Editing & Mixing hopefuls are once again, as was the case last year, a great mixture a genres ranging from Animated with Wall-E, to Epic with Australia and War featuring Miracle At St. Anna. As of now, which of these film that will break through to a nod is a mystery to me, but here are my top 10 for both categories Editing and Mixing.



Best Sound Editing
1. Iron Man
2. The Dark Knight
3. Wall-E
4. Defiance
5. Quantum of Solace
6. Miracle At St. Anna
7. Australia
8. Indianna Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull
9. Body of Lies
10.Hancock



Best Sound Mixing
1. Iron Man
2. Wall-E
3. The Dark Knight
4. Quantum of Solace
5. Miracle at St. Anna
6. Defiance
7. Body of Lies
8. Australia
9. Indiann Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull
10. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Both categories are looking to match up pretty evenly, with Iron Man being the early favorite to grab both awards. I have a feeling that The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Wall-E, and Quantum of Solace will all end up on both shortlists with either Defiance or Miracle at St. Anna vying for the last spot in each category.
