"If your heart was pounding when you watched Cuarón's movie ['Gravity'], it probably wasn't because of Sandra Bullock or George Clooney, the amazing visual effects, or the spectacular views of Earth. It was probably the sound imitating Bullock's heartbeat." - Haaretz
Each year, the best of movie sound is recognized by the Academy Awards, the MPSE (Motion Picture Sound Editors) Golden Reel Awards, theBAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards, and the CAS (Cinema Audio Society) Awards. Several long-time Meyer Sound users and studios equipped with Meyer Sound cinema loudspeaker systems have played a pivotal role in creating the engaging soundscapes in this year's nominated films. Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners!
