One of the moderately accurate precursors picked several films I wouldn’t have expected. I’m glad to see Hanna on this list, but the rest could be nominated or not and I wouldn’t care (I’d prefer no Super 8, but what can you do). I’m surprised not to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo here and a few others being missing is a bit surprising as well, but more time for analysis later.

In addition to the nominees and/or winners listed below, this year, we’re giving you a quick background on each individual precursor including founding year, first awards year and a glimpse at how many predictions the group has gotten right in the last five years. This data can be found below.

As promised, I have posted the history of this particular guild on my website. You can find it by following this link: Cinema Audio Society.
