Alejandro González Iñárritu received the Filmmaker of the Year award for bardo, and the 2023 CAS Career Achievement Award was presented to five-time Academy Award-nominated production sound engineer Peter J. Devlin.
Guillermo del Toro, José Antonio García and Jon Taylor paid tribute to González Iñárritu, who in his acceptance speech trumped the crucial work of the sound engineers. “There is a reason why motion pictures are labeled as an audiovisual medium,” he said. “Sound comes first, before image. Sound affects our body sensors. Without intellectualization we are struck first and it seizes our imagination and it is limitless and it is first.
Devlin, whose credits include Black Panther: Wakanda Forever And Star Trek: Picard, gave a heartfelt thank you about the importance of sound. “Because ours is just the most collaborative and creative company out there,” he said. “It doesn’t need just any village; It takes a whole city to make a film or a television show.” Filmmaker Patty Jenkins and executive editor Teri E. Dorman presented the award.
