C A S Q U A R T E R L Y W I N T E R 2 0 1 8 5 Happy New Year to All! Welcoming a new year with the whirlwind of awards season is always a great pleasure. It is great to see the fruits of our efforts being celebrated around the world. I enjoy the blockbusters, as we all do, but feel a sense of joy and excitement with the treasures that are brought to the forefront in the awards season. The small-budget wonders, the lesser knowns, and the pieces of creative beauty fueled by the passion and drive of the filmmakers. To you all, I send my congratulations and my thanks. As you read on in this edition of the CAS Quarterly, you will see the nominees that we as a society have chosen. A look at what we have enjoyed over the year. We are also overjoyed to be recognizing this year's Career Achievement honoree, re-recording mixer Anna Behlmer, whose longtime collaborations with filmmakers and her work on more than 150 projects is a testament to her excellence and creativity. As with every year that passes, the joys and triumphs are accompanied by losses. This year, the CAS Board lost one of our own when longtime Board member and 22-time Emmy winner Ed Greene passed away in August. It is rare to have such vision and talent in one man and to celebrate the life of Ed, we felt it fitting to create an award in his honor. The inaugural Edward J. Greene Award for the Advancement of Sound will be given to Tomlinson Holman CAS at the awards ceremony in February. I am personally very happy that we will be presenting Joe Wright with our Filmmaker Award. His current film Darkest Hour exhibits Joe's passion for all the crafts involved in filmmaking. Finally. I would like to remind all our active CAS members to vote in the final round commencing on February 1! I look forward to seeing you at the 54th Annual CAS Awards!
