Golden Reel Awards

The Golden Reel Awards are a distinguished annual celebration that recognize outstanding achievements in sound editing and related creative audio work across feature films, television, broadcast, gaming, and interactive media. Presented by the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE), the Golden Reel Awards honor the technical artistry and creative excellence of sound editors and foley artists, whose work plays a vital role in shaping the auditory experience of visual storytelling.

In addition to recognizing exceptional projects across multiple sound categories, the awards also include individual honors such as the Career Achievement Award and the Honorary Filmmaker’s Award, celebrating both lifelong contributions within the sound community and notable appreciation for sound editing by influential figures outside the discipline. The annual event is judged by peers within the sound editing profession and is regarded as one of the most prized accolades in the world of sound editorial work.
