Adam,
My point is more from experiencing a film rather than reflecting on it for an Award. I essentially agree with your analysis though.

Responding to Rob Y…
I do agree about the irony of the sound mixers and editors world, where the truly great ones are the ones where you don’t notice the work. However, I also believe that when it comes to “Awards”, many times it IS the noticable ones that receive the nods. Just looking back at the last few yards, films like The Bourne Ultimatum, Transformers, The Dark Knight, Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Star Trek, Inception, and True Grit all received nods in the sound categories. I can think of very few “quiet films” that received sounds nods, except for King’s Speech and No Country.
So yes, the truly great artists are when you don’t think about it. But still, the ones that pop and make you think, most of the time are the ones who reap the benefits.

In all my work with film, sound is the one aspect that really eludes me. These artists are genius. It’s ironic that they succeed when their work isn’t consciously noticed.

Great video. Oscar nods.
Great video. Oscar nods.
Wonderful video. The sound was one of the best things about parts 1 and 2 of DH. The forest chase scene in part 1 alone merited a nomination in my opinion.
