The Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE), the premier organisation for entertainment sound editing professionals since 1953, announced that the 73rd Annual Golden Reel Awards will be held on Sunday, March 8, 2026, in Los Angeles. A detailed submissions and voting timeline will be released in the coming weeks.
“The MPSE Golden Reels is anticipated by sound professionals worldwide and we are thrilled to announce the date of our 73rd Annual Awards,” said MPSE President David Barber. “We look forward to the gathering of our colleagues and friends from around the world, celebrating the very best of the year’s sonic artistry.”
In addition to presenting awards in competitive categories recognizing outstanding achievement in sound editing and foley artistry in film, television and game sound, the MPSE also presents two honorary awards annually: the MPSE Filmmaker Award and the MPSE Career Achievement Award, the recipients of which will be announced later this year. The 2025 honorees were Kevin Costner and Gregory Hedgepath, respectively.
