40 F A L L 2 0 1 8 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y CAS Awards will mark the 25th anniversary of the presentation of the CAS's own awards. This year they will be presented in seven categories: Motion Pictures – Live Action; Motion Pictures – Animated; Motion Pictures – Documentary; Television Movies or Limited Series; Television Series – One Hour; Television Series – Half Hour; and Television Non-Fiction, Variety, Music Series or Specials. In addition to increasing the number of categories over the years, the award recipients have expanded from the original re-recording and production mixers to now also include the ADR, Foley and scoring mixers. Other award changes over the years include the redesign and renaming of the CAS Life Achievement Award, now called the CAS Career Achievement Award, which was redesigned in 2006 to mirror the design of the CAS Award. Also in 2006, the CAS presented its first Filmmaker Award, given to Quentin Tarantino. Another expansion to the CAS Awards has been the presentation of the CAS Technical Achievement Awards. These were first given in 2005 to honor technical innovation in the area of sound recording and to recognize manufacturers of Production and Post Production products that enhance how we practice our craft. The CAS presented its first Student Recognition Award in 2016, and in 2018, the Edward J. Greene Award for the Advancement of Sound was established in honor of the former CAS Career Achievement honoree, CAS Board member and respected legend and icon of our industry. As we prepare for this year's awards, we can see what a long way we have come, and it is with great pride that we celebrate this 25th anniversary of the CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing. It has become an award highly esteemed by mixers as it is truly a recognition by their peers—an award of, by, and for sound mixers. • The Filmmaker Award as first presented in 2006.
