“Sound of Metal” had long been the frontrunner to be nominated for Best Sound at the Oscars, and this prediction proved correct in Monday’s Oscar nominations announcement. Early odds forecast a win for sound designers Nicolas Becker, Jaime Baksht, Michelle Coutollenc, Carlos Cortes and Philip Bladh in the category, which was just combined this year after decades of being split up into Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.
The entirety of “Sound of Metal” is a showcase for their work as it charts the journey of a heavy metal drummer (Best Actor nominee Riz Ahmed) who suddenly loses his hearing. The sound design is intricately crafted to recreate the experience of a hearing person who is deafened, allowing us to sense the vibrations and understand how he is experiencing the world each step of the way.
