"I've had the great pleasure and joy to work with James Gray on many occasions," Johnson said. "James not only understands, but also appreciates, the power of sound. Thanks to his guidance, and the work of an incredibly dedicated and talented crew, we were able to make a significant contribution to the overall experience which is 'Ad Astra.' I am so grateful and humbled that our work has been recognized by our fellow members in the Academy." "ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD" Michael Minkler and Christian P. Minkler Quentin Tarantino's love letter to 1960s Hollywood wowed critics and audiences with its technical mastery. "It goes with- out saying that it's an incredible honor just to be recognized with all the other talented nominees, whom I hold in the highest regard and admiration. But for me personally, this acknowledg- ment is much more than just my first nomination," Christian Minkler told CineMontage. " It marks a legendary, historical moment in time, that I am beyond ecstatic about because I am sharing it with my father. This must be one of the few, if not the only time in the Academy's history, that a father and son have been recognized together in the same category for their craft. I feel beyond blessed to be nominated as part of the incredible filmmaking team assembled by Quentin Tarantino to bring 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' to the screen this year." "FORD V FERRARI" Paul Massey and David Giammarco "It's a tremendous honor that my sound branch peers thought the work on this film was worthy of Academy rec- ognition. I'm grateful to Jim Mangold, a gifted director, who inspired our passionate and creative sound team to collaborate on a film that is a contender for the Best Picture of 2020. I've loved cars since I was a kid, and working on Ford v Ferrari was an absolute thrill." — Giammarco "JOKER" Tom Ozanich, MPSE, and Dean Zupancic "The track for 'Joker' is like Ar- thur's psychosis. It's complex, bold, and disturbing when it needs to be. I am honored and elated with gratitude to the Sound branch of the Academy for recognizing our work as one of the five best sound movies this past year. Congratulations to my partners and crew and congratulations to all the nominees for their incredible work." — Zupancic
