Warner Bros’ F1: The Movie and Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters took center stage at the 62nd Annual CAS Awards, winning awards for Best Live Action Film and Best Animated Film, respectively.
F1 is not just a hit; it won Best Sound at the BAFTA Film Awards and is up for an Oscar next week. Spotlighted for its sound work, the film’s team includes notable mixers like Gareth John and Gary A. Rizzo CAS.
On the animated side, KPop Demon Hunters continues its winning streak, having swept the Annie Awards with ten wins last month. This film has become Netflix’s most-watched movie. It shows how animation is gaining traction, especially among younger viewers—a trend noted in a recent survey by Statista that revealed 70% of Gen Z prefers streaming animated content over other genres.
In television, HBO Max’s The Pitt and Apple TV’s The Studio also took home awards, confirming their strong presence in the industry. Netflix’s acclaimed series Adolescence won for Non-Theatrical Motion Picture.
Two special honors were granted during the awards: Guillermo del Toro received the Filmmaker Award, while Skip Lievsay accepted the Career Achievement Award. Both awards recognize substantial contributions to film sound, a key element in storytelling that often goes unnoticed.
The full list of winners showcases a mix of new and established talent, reflecting the diversity and richness in sound design today.
