So, if you are an Oscar voter — either as an Academy member or as a fan participating in your annual office pool — you'll have a much better idea of what to watch for and (more importantly) what to listen for as you get to the Best Sound category on your ballot!

Maitland, Gary Rydstrom, Brian Chumney, Andy Nelson and Shawn Murphy Each of these interview excerpts is taken from our full episodes dedicated to the sound design of each of these incredible films.
