"Once again, I am very proud that we have such a diverse group of nominees in both our film and television categories. We go out of our way to be as inclusive as possible with our categories and nominees, since so often the work of sound and music editors is overlooked," stated MPSE president David J. Bondelevitch. (Bondelevitch is recuperating at home after three weeks in intensive care following surgery on an infected lung.)
The MPSE is also announced its presenters for two special awards. Legendary sound editor and mixer Walter Murch will present the Inaugural Filmmaker's Award to George Lucas, and supervising sound editor Richard Hymns will present the Career Achievement Award to Gary Rydstrom.
