Cinema Audio Society Awards

The Cinema Audio Society Awards are a prestigious annual celebration that recognize outstanding achievements in sound mixing for film and television entertainment. Presented by the Cinema Audio Society (CAS), these awards honor the creative artistry and technical excellence of production and post‑production sound mixers whose work plays a critical role in shaping the auditory experience of motion pictures and television series.

The awards spotlight excellence across multiple sound mixing categories including live action, animated, documentary, television series (one hour and half‑hour), limited series or television movie, and non‑fiction/variety or music specials while also presenting special honors such as the Career Achievement Award, the Filmmaker Award (for a filmmaker who demonstrates profound appreciation and understanding of sound), and the Student Recognition Award, which encourages emerging talent in the field. Winners are selected by the Society’s experienced peer membership, and the annual event is regarded as one of the most respected accolades within the professional sound mixing community in the United States.
