CAS Awards: ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ & ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ Take Top Film Prizes – Full Winners List

Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick and took the marquee film prize at the Cinema Audio Society’s 59th annual CAS Awards, which were handed out Saturday night at the Intercontinental Downtown Los Angeles.

The race for the CAS’ marquee Motion Picture: Live Action statuette saw the sound-mixing teams behind the two top-grossing films of 2022 — Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water — against All Quiet on the Western Front, Elvis and The Batman. All five also are up for the Best Sound Oscar.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio continued its string of awards-season wins by taking the CAS Award for Animated Motion Picture. The first film award of the night, for Documentary, went to the sound team behind Neon’s David Bowie pic Moonage Daydream.

The TV prizes went to Only Murders in the Building (half-hour), the now-wrapped AMC drama Better Call Saul (one hour), Disney+ drama ObiWan Kenobi and Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

Alejandro González Iñárritu received the Filmmaker of the Year Award for Bardo, and the 2023 CAS Career Achievement Award was presented to five-time Oscar-nominated production sound mixer Peter J. Devlin.

Guillermo del Toro, José Antonio García and Jon Taylor presented the honor to González Iñárritu, who trumpted the crucial work of sound mixers in his acceptance speech. “There is a reason why cinema is called an audio-visual medium,” he said. “Audio is first, before visuals. Sound hits our bodies sensorially. Without intellectualization, we are just hit primally and it strikes our imagination and it’s boundless and it’s first.”

Devlin, whose credits include Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Star Trek: Picard, gave a heartfelt acceptance speech about the importance of sound. “Because ours is, quite simply, the most collaborative, creative endeavor anywhere,” he said. “It doesn’t simply take a village; it takes a whole city to create a film or TV show.” Filmmaker Patty Jenkins and supervising dialogue editor Teri E. Dorman presented the award.
