It’s been a whirlwind two weeks for 满帆 graduate and 名人堂 inductee Gary Rizzo.

2月18日, the re-recording sound mixer attended the British Academy 电影 奖 in London, where he won the award for “Best Sound” for his work on 敦刻尔克, Christopher Nolan’s epic film about the civilian effort to evacuate 敦刻尔克 beach during World War II.

天后, he was back in Los Angeles, being honored by the Cinema Audio Society for “Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing for Motion Pictures – Live Action.” Gary rounded out his incredible awards season last night at the 90th Annual Academy 奖, where he won in the category of “Best Achievement in Sound Mixing.”

Gary was joined onstage at the Oscars by his colleagues Gregg Landaker and Mark Weingarten, where he first addressed his children Luciana and Devin before concluding his speech with a shoutout to his family – both chosen and otherwise.

“To my daughters… I love you. Hang on to your dreams – they are so, so valuable,” he said.

“And to everyone at 满帆 University and my family way up there somewhere,他接着说, pointing up at the balcony of the Dolby Theatre. “我爱你。. I love you so much. 谢谢你!.”

This marks Gary’s second Oscar win. He previously won an Academy Award for 《菠菜台子大全》 in 2011. It also marks the seventh time he’s worked with director Christopher Nolan. Speaking to students at 满帆’s 9th Annual 名人堂 Week, Gary addressed some of the challenges of working on 敦刻尔克 – namely the fact that the production utilized very little ADR.

“Well, I had Tom Hardy in a mask again,” he joked, referencing his previous work on Nolan’s film The Dark Knight. “That said, Tom Hardy is all synchronous production recordings in 敦刻尔克. Even though he’s wearing the mask, we’re back to [Nolan’s] original concept of honesty.”
