Two of the year’s numerous black-and-white films made the list as did three expected color features. Belfast was the title I was least sure would be included, but the film managed to eke out a nomination over popular Janusz Kaminski for West Side Story.

With Sound Editing now a part of the Sound award, we look to these for signs of weakness rather than a definitive precursor since the Sound Mixing category is the more familiar component of the new category. Of the Sound shortlisted films, it’s rather surprising that three of the four top nominees are there, but…

Major contenders missing from this list include three really big ones: Cyrano, Belfast, and House of Gucci as well as three minor ones: The Last Duel, Last Night in Soho, and The Power of the Dog.
