Best Sound Editing
American Sniper
Birdman
The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies
Interstellar
Unbroken
Sound editing rewards mainly the creation of new or nonexistent sounds for a film. I'm pretty sure Interstellar will sweep these technical categories, but who knows? No reason for American Sniper or Unbroken to be nominated in these categories. If you replaced the names Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie on their posters, these would've certainly been forgotten come Oscar time.
My Ballot:
Interstellar
Birdman
The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies
Unbroken
American Sniper
My Pick to Win:
Interstellar
Shamefully Snubbed:
Earth to Echo
Best Sound Mixing
American Sniper
Birdman
Interstellar
Unbroken
Whiplash
Sound mixing refers to correcting or enhancing the levels of the sounds in the movie. Once again, I expect Interstellar to prevail here, but I would be a little less surprised to see a Birdman upset in this category. Whiplash was certainly a welcome surprise, but the exclusion of the meticulous mixing that went on in Into the Woods is simply inexcusable.
My Ballot:
Whiplash
Birdman
Interstellar
Unbroken
American Sniper
My Pick to Win:
Interstellar
Shamefully Snubbed:
Into the Woods
