Motion Picture Sound Editors, the organization of entertainment sound editing professionals since 1953, will present Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Costner with the 2025 MPSE Filmmaker Award. The honor is bestowed annually to a filmmaker of distinction.

Supervising Sound Editor Greg Hedgepath will receive the Career Achievement Award, which is presented to a person whose career has made a significant impact on the sound community through exemplary work, service, or leadership.

Both awards will be presented during MPSE’s 72nd Annual Golden Reel Awards Gala on February 23, 2025 at the Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles.

“Kevin Costner has captivated audiences with his powerful storytelling throughout his illustrious career,” said MPSE president David Barber in a statement. “From epic Westerns to poignant dramas, his use of sound as an integral component of his cinematic storytelling has stirred our emotions and immersed viewers in the worlds he’s created for decades. This passion for sound is abundantly clear in his latest ambitious project, the Horizon saga. We are thrilled to honor him with the Filmmaker Award, recognizing his exceptional contributions to the art of storytelling through sound in film and television.”

Barber called Hedgepath “a true titan in the world of sound. Barber continued: “His contributions to cinema are immense, spanning decades and encompassing a remarkable range of genres. From the heart-pounding intensity of Speed and Twister to the nuanced drama of Selma and Straight Outta Compton, Greg’s work has consistently elevated storytelling through the power of sound. He is a master craftsman, an innovator, and an inspiration. This award is a testament to the profound impact he has had on the art of sound.”
