Jim Feeley Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 A six-minute story on National Public Radio today: The Woman Behind The Oscar-Nominated Sound Of 'Unbroken' FEBRUARY 21, 2015 4:06 PM ET Like many of the "technical" Academy Awards, the sound editing category has long been dominated by men. But a woman was nominated this year — just the fifth woman ever in the 30 or so years the sound editing award has been a competitive contest. She's nominated for the WWII biopic Unbroken, based on the best-selling biography of Louis Zamperini, the Olympic runner and prisoner of war who turned to alcoholism after the war and eventually became a born-again Christian. (She shares the nomination with her co-editor, Andrew DeCristofaro.) And her name, like mine, is Becky Sullivan. I had to meet her. We sat down for an interview at her office at Universal Studios, and she told me about her career as one of the few women working in movie sound, and her challenging work on Unbroken.

Jan McL Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'll be dead a long time before chicks nominated or winning or leading is unremarkable, and it's unworthy of mention what the chicks are wearing. Maybe never. In any event, this makes me happy Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
