No Canadian audio teams came out winners at the 51st Golden Reel Awards, despite several nominations. The Motion Picture Sound Editors organization made the prize announcements Feb. 28 in Los Angeles.

A couple of Canadian copros were singled out, however. The Triplets of Belleville, a Canada/France/Belgium collaboration, won for best sound editing in an animated feature film for the Europe-based team of Eric De Vos and Laurent Quaglio. Meanwhile, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, produced by Alliance Atlantis and CBS, won for sound editing (SFX and foley) in a TV episode, with Americans Mace Matiosian and David Van Slyke cited.

Toronto’s Tattersall Sound and Picture had been up for four nominations for its TV work on Salem Witch Trials, Word of Honor and Ice Bound, while cross-town shop Critical Post was twice nominated for Hitler: The Rise of Evil. Toronto’s Yuri Gorbachow was nominated for the latter project as well as for Queer as Folk. Masters Workshop, based in Toronto and Montreal, was up for the large-format Bugs! 3D.
