Outstanding Sound Editing For A Nonfiction Or Reality Program (Single Or Multi-Camera) – Moonage Daydream
Moonage Daydream, a documentary about the work of David Bowie, drew enormous amounts of attention due to its reimagining of the documentary format. The film deconstructs Bowie’s finest work into sound collages which weave music and sound design together seamlessly. The results are awe-inspiring and will leave you with no doubt that this Emmy was incredibly well-deserved. Read more about this project in this article from Variety.

Outstanding Sound Editing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (Half-Hour) And Animation – The Bear
Though grounded more within reality than the other nominees, The Bear has a gritty authenticity to its entire production that is reflected in the sound design of its Chicago setting. The only thing more appetising than the food b-roll in this show is the crisp sound of vegetable preparation and sizzling meats. Delicious!
