The Motion Picture Sound Editors said today that Gwendolyn Yates Whittlewill receive its 2023 MPSE Career Achievement Award during the group’s 70th annual Golden Reel Awards in February.
Supervising sound editor Whittle is a two-time Oscar nominee for Avatar and Tron: Legacy and has won six Golden Reels on 20 career nominations spanning 1998-2022. She also scored an Emmy nom for WandaVision last year.
“An extraordinarily gifted sound artist, Gwen has lent her talents to an amazing diversity of films and television shows,” MPSE President Mark Lanza said. “She has been a true pioneer since her earliest days in the industry and has served as a mentor, role model, and inspiration to countless aspiring sound editors. The MPSE takes great pride in presenting her with our annual Career Achievement Award.”
Based at Skywalker Sound in Northern California for more than 30 years, Whittle has worked on well more than 120 films — from small independents to blockbusters including Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Iron Man, Cloverfield and Jurassic World.
