‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Sounds Stellar At 2019 CAS Awards

The Cinema Audio Society handed out its 2019 CAS Awards on Saturday night and provided some keen insight on how the Sound Mixing Oscar race might play out.  “Bohemian Rhapsody” took the top prize over major competition from “A Star is Born” and “First Man.”  Whether AMPAS members feel the same way about the Freddie Mercury and Queen biopic in this category remains to be seen.

There was a surprise winner in the Animation race with “Isle of Dogs” coming out on top and “Free Solo” took the Documentary prize taking yet another Guild honor. On the television side, “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (it seems to win everything doesn’t it?), “Mozart in the Jungle” and “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace” won the Hour Long, Half-Hour and Television Movie or Limited Series categories.
