On the other hand, "Dunkirk" bagged the trophies for Sound Editing and Sound Mixing categories during the Sunday, March 4 awards-giving event at Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California. Richard King and Alex Gibson shared the former award, while Gregg Landaker, Gary A. Rizzo and Mark Weingarten won the latter award.
The award marked the fourth for Landaker. The re-recording mixer previously landed Oscars for his work on "The Empire Strikes Back", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Speed". It was also the fourth Oscar for King, who won for "The Dark Knight", "Inception" and "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World".
"Hello, I'd like to thank the Academy for including me in this nomination. It's historic and I think music editors and I are very grateful. And that's it. I guess I'm done," Gibson said during the speech.
Landaker, meanwhile, said while accepting the trophy for Sound Mixing category, "I'd like to thank ladies and gentlemen of the Academy of arts and sciences. Thank you so much for bestowing this great honor upon this sound crew for 'Dunkirk'. To my support team, Catherine Landaker, I love you. To my cheerleading squad, Cary Cashman, Jim, Grace and Jake. To two gentlemen that bookend my career Don Rogers, giving me flight, and to Kim Wa for giving me a safe landing. To Christopher Nolan, that entrusted us, encouraged us to try to make a difference in a soundtrack. Thank you so much."
