Will Win: American Sniper

Could Win: Interstellar

Should Win: American Sniper

Similarly to sound mixing, I am going with American Sniper to take this technical category. The best part of this movie, aside from Bradley Cooper’s performance, is the action sequences. They are very well edited, and the sound work is no exception. Interstellar sounded great as well, so it could pull an upset.
