Avid (Nasdaq: AVID) congratulates its award-winning and nominated customers for their creative achievements at this year's prestigious entertainment industry awards, including the Oscars , BAFTAs and the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddies. A vast majority of productions recognized across categories were crafted using Media Composer and Pro Tools , the audio and video creation tools that film and TV professionals rely on.

All of the nominees for the Oscar for Best Sound at the 95th Academy Awards used Pro Tools, including the winner Top Gun: Maverick (Mark Weingarten, James H. Mather, Al Nelson, Chris Burdon and Mark Taylor). Other nominees included Avatar: The Way of Water (Julian Howarth, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Dick Bernstein, Christopher Boyes, Gary Summers and Michael Hedges); The Batman (Stuart Wilson, William Files, Douglas Murray and Andy Nelson); Elvis (David Lee, Wayne Pashley, Andy Nelson and Michael Keller); and All Quiet on the Western Front (Viktor Pr sil, Frank Kruse, Markus Stemler, Lars Ginzel and Stefan Korte), which won the BAFTA for Best Sound.

Nine out of the 10 nominees for the Oscar for Best Picture were edited with Media Composer. Four out of the five nominees for the Oscar for Best Film Editing used Media Composer, including Top Gun: Maverick, edited by Eddie Hamilton, ACE, whose work previously earned him an ACE Eddie Award for Best Edited Dramatic Feature Film in addition to a BAFTA nomination. Other nominees for the Oscar for Best Film Editing included Banshees of Inisherin (Mikkel E.G. Nielsen, ACE); Elvis (Matt Villa and Johnathan Redmond); and T r (Monika Willi). Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio won the Oscar for Animated Feature Film and also scooped up the ACE Eddie Award for Best Edited Animated Feature Film (Ken Schretzmann, ACE, and Holly Klein) and the BAFTA for Best Animated Film.
