LONDON - The Association of Motion Picture Sound (www.amps.net) has announced the nominations for the 2026 Excellence in Sound for a Feature Film Award. The award recognizes outstanding contributions by film sound professionals, whose work brings cinematic storytelling to life through the creative and technical power of sound. This year’s nominated films are: F1, Frankenstein, Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Sinners and Warfare.
The Excellence in Sound for a Feature Film Award honors the collaborative efforts of the production sound mixer, supervising dialogue/ADR editor, supervising sound editor or sound designer, and re-recording mixer.
