Cinema Audio Society announces winners at 62nd annual awards

The 62nd annual Cinema Audio Society Awards ceremony took place on March 7, 2026, in Beverly Hills, revealing winners for outstanding sound achievements in film and television. Film category victors included F1 (live-action), KPop Demon Hunters (animated), and Becoming Led Zeppelin (documentary), following nominations announced in January.

The Cinema Audio Society (CAS) celebrated its 62nd annual awards on March 7, 2026, in Beverly Hills, honoring excellence in sound mixing and design across cinema and television. Building on the nominations revealed on January 20—which spotlighted films like F1, Sinners, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Elio, Zootopia 2, and documentaries such as Becoming Led Zeppelin—the ceremony crowned winners in key film categories, including F1, KPop Demon Hunters, and Becoming Led Zeppelin.

These victories underscore the pivotal role of audio teams in creating immersive experiences, from high-octane action in F1 to genre-blending animation in KPop Demon Hunters and the band's origin story in Becoming Led Zeppelin. While full winner lists across all categories (including TV) were highlighted at the event, the film wins align with CAS's tradition of recognizing technical innovation since 1964.

The awards often preview broader industry honors like the Oscars, drawing sound professionals and affirming CAS's influence in advancing audio arts.
