Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Editing
Arrival
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
La La Land
Sully
...And so it begins....As always, I'll take a look at each category, give a little background, my predictions, and where I think the voters got it wrong. I'm a little behind on where I'd like to be on my movie watching, but I'm acquiring and watching as fast as I can. I'm here to serve!
Sound editing is awarded to the movie with the best added sounds. Usually this category is full of gunfights, robots, and noisy vehicles. This year is no different. The one oddball is La La Land. I'm not really sure how that film is going to do in these technical categories. Musicals usually do well in Sound Mixing, but I don't really know of a single original sound effect that stood out in the Oscar juggernaut. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me at all for La La to sweep.
My Ballot (ranked from best to worst):
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Arrival
La La Land
Sully
My Pick to Win:
Hacksaw Ridge
Shamefully Snubbed:
Swiss Army Man
