Well, we're down to the last guild that announces before the Oscar nominations tomorrow, and that's the Motion Picture Sound Editors. The sound mixers already announced, so now the sound editors have their turn. What's the difference? Well, the mixers are the ones who put together raw, already existing sounds from on-set and balance them, like background noise, car alarms, etc. and sound editors create new sounds altogether for the movie's soundtrack. Or at least I think so- it could be the other way around actually, but I'll have it down before Oscar night. All I know is that war movies, musicals and action movies tend to do pretty well in both categories.
