C A S Q U A R T E R L Y S P R I N G 2 0 1 6 15 T he 52nd Annual CAS Awards was an elegant affair, bringing colleagues and friends together again to celebrate the artistic and technical achievement in sound for picture. The ceremony took place on February 20, 2016, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Millennium Biltmore. The night started off with the traditional cocktail hour, providing time for members to catch up and share the past year's adventures. There was also a sound salon provided by American Phonograph, demonstrating a Kinetophone. "It is with great pleasure that we are able to bring to our awards event the only surviving Edison Kinetophone circa 1894," said CAS President Mark Ulano. "This was the fi rst serious commercial product that represented the merging of fi lm and sound." It offered a real treat to attendees and reminded us all of how far we have come and where we came from. Our master of ceremonies was comedian, writer and actress, Elayne Boosler. In addition to the awarding of winners in our six traditional categories for Outstanding Sound Mixing and Technical Achievements, great honors were given to Doc Kane, who was our Career Achievement Award recipient. With more than 350 credits to his name, Doc was not only presented with the award, but also two special tribute fi lms from actors, such as Brad Garrett ( Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Everybody Loves Raymond), co-workers, producers, and directors who have all benefi ted from his fi ne work. Additionally, Emmy-winning director/producer/ screenwriter Jay Roach ( Trumbo, Austin Powers trilogy, Game Change, Recount) received the CAS Filmmaker Award in a presentation that included remarks by Oscar ® nominee Bryan Cranston (Trumbo, Breaking Bad) and John Ross CAS. Roach joins an impressive list of previous CAS Filmmaker Award honorees including Quentin Tarantino, Gil Cates, Bill Condon, Paul Mazursky, Henry Selick, Taylor Hackford, Rob Marshall, Jonathan Demme, Edward Zwick, and Richard Linklater. b y K a r o l U r b a n C A S M P S E CAS AWARD WINNERS FOR CAS AWARDS FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND MIXING MOTION PICTURES LIVE ACTION THE REVENANT Production Mixer Chris Duesterdiek Re-recording Mixer Jon Taylor CAS Re-recording Mixer Frank A.
