Alan Robert Murray and Bub Asman win Oscars for best sound editing American Sniper

With the Academy Awards over for 2015 - it was nice to see Alan Robert Murray and Bub Asman win Oscars for best sound editing on American Sniper. This was always going to be a tough year - although I had hoped that Bradley Cooper might had been the dark horse in the Best Actor category... Anyway, here are a few photos to celebrate the technical award for our boys - well done to them both.

American Sniper receives 6 Academy Award Nominations

Academy Awards Nominations 2015
Well, this is pretty refreshing news! 

I'm pleased to report that Eastwood’s American Sniper has received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.


Bradley Cooper has also received a nomination for Best Actor while Jason Hall gets the nod in the Best Adapted Screenplay category. Malpaso regulars Gary Roach and Joel Cox have also been recognised for Best Editing – whilst other technical categories include Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing. So 6 nominations for American Sniper in all – I really hope Cooper is seriously considered.  I felt it was a well handled performance in which he maintains just the right balance.


All will be revealed this Sunday February 22nd – the ceremony will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
