The Cinema Audio Society, which represents the sound designers, released their noms today, and Slumdog Millionaire got a surprising nomination. The film has become something of a juggernaut, with every guild group bestowing it a nomination. I don't think it will translate into a nomination with the Academy, but I could be wrong. If Finding Neverland and Shakespeare in Love managed to receive nods, so could Slumdog. I also think Quantum of Solace could miss out on a nomination, since the Academy completely ignored Casino Royale, even though it was completely worthy of a few nominations...Daniel Craig, Best Actor nod, should have been. I expect The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to take its place come Oscar time, and if Slumdog doesn't show up, Indiana Jones will fill its seat. Although, with the new Indy movie missing a nod from the sound guild, and not making the cut for the Visual Effects bake-off, maybe the industry realizes what a crap movie Crystal Skulls was, and it won't receive any nominations, save for the inevitable John Williams score nod. Take that Lucas and Spielberg!!!The Noms:
The Dark Knight - Ed Novick, Lora Hirschberg, Gary A. Rizzo
Iron Man - Mark Ulano, Christopher Boyes, Lora Hirschberg
Quantum of Solace - Chris Munro, Mike Prestwood Smith, Mark Taylor
Slumdog Millionaire - Resul Pookutty, Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke
WALL-E - Tom Meyers, Michael Semanick
