2014 Oscar Predictions: Best Sound Mixing

Will “Inside Llewyn Davis” follow in the footsteps of musical films like “Les Miserables” and “Dreamgirls” and win Best Sound Mixing?

This category is pretty much locked up. “Gravity” probably will and deserves to win. Even I, a complete idiot when it comes to sound design, can tell that the sound mixing is something to marvel at.

If I had to pick a spoiler, I would go with “Inside Llewyn Davis”. Music films tend to do well here (“Chicago”, “Ray”, “Dreamgirls”, “Les Miserables”). The only reason I don’t have the winning is because of the film above.

Check out the rest of my Oscar predictions here!

Will Win: “Gravity”
Could Win: “Inside Llewyn Davis”
Should Win: “Gravity”
Should have been nominated: “Pacific Rim”
