Leadership of the film Academy held what was described as a “contentious” Zoom meeting with Oscars nominees for best sound following the call not to present eight categories live during the March 27 broadcast
in eight categories — documentary short, film editing, makeup/hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short and sound — inside the Dolby Theatre an hour before the live telecast commences and have it recorded and edited into the subsequent live broadcast.
While this wasn’t discussed in Friday’s meeting, this follows a controversial decision made in 2020 by the sound branch and the Academy to combine the sound editing and sound mixing categories back into a single award, which was first presented as such in 2021. “The Best Sound category was created last year by merging into one the two previous awards given for sound, and at that time a pledge was made to keep the best Sound category in the broadcast event,” echoed a statement released on Thursday by the council of the Association of Motion Picture Sound.
