Avid Celebrates Achievements of Its Creative Users at 96th Academy Awards(R) and BAFTAs

Avid congratulates its Oscar-winning users for their creative achievements at last night’s Academy Awards, following the success of Oppenheimer, which collected seven awards, including Best Picture, and Best Film Editing for editor Jennifer Lame, ACE.

Lame edited Oppenheimer with Avid Media Composer.

Oppenheimer was one of ten nominees for the Best Picture Oscar, nine of which were edited on Avid Media Composer – including American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest.

In addition to Lame, three other nominees for Best Film Editing used Media Composer – including Laurent Sénéchal (Anatomy of a Fall), Kevin Tent, ACE (The Holdovers), and Yorgos Mavropsaridis, ACE (Poor Things).

Oppenheimer also won the Oscar for Best Original Score, with composer Ludwig Göransson’s score produced on Avid’s music notation software Sibelius, and with live recording captured in Avid’s audio production software Pro Tools.

“Hollywood’s most imaginative creatives choose Avid tools to produce the world’s most recognized and admired stories,” says Tim Claman, Avid’s Chief Product Officer. “We’re extremely proud of all our amazing community and we delight in every opportunity to celebrate them. Their accolades inspire us to keep innovating to continuously elevate the craft of storytelling.”

The Oscar recognition for Oppenheimer, Lame and Göransson follows their success at last month’s BAFTA Film Awards in London – where Oppenheimer won Best Film, Lame picked up the Best Editing award and Göransson won for Best Original Score, eliciting further congratulations from the Avid team.
