Going Out With a Bang!
Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 8:31PM 
The Oscar nominations weren't the only awards announced this week, and while I'm so very happy with the Best Picture nominations (and also Amy Adams!!), it wasn't the most exciting news at the Redpath household. Other entertainment industry award nominations were announced this week as well - and Bob has been nominated for three Golden Reel Awards, which are presented by the Motion Picture Sound Editors,
"... acknowledging the year's best work in the various areas of sound editing: Dialogue & ADR, Effects & Foley, and Music."
Bob was nominated in two categories for the TV show Fringe, and once for My Own Worst Enemy.
The awards show is the end of February. Bob's pretty excited that he's going to get to hear Ben Burtt speak, who is receiving the MPSE Career Achievement Award that night.
These nominations feel somehow more poignant to me because they they might be the last fancy black-tie award shows we'll go too. The Emmy's felt the same way. It's fun, and a bit sad too.

Congratulations! I am sure these nominations are well-deserved. Your trip will give you more insight into the world and the lives of others. This can only enhance the work you will undertake when you return to the good ol' U. S. of A.
Since we built your website together, and I'm "on" your site so often, I've gotten accustomed to the two of you already knowing my thoughts on one topic or another. It just occurred to me that I never mentioned - either here, on email, or on the phone - how excited I was for you when I read this post. Best tell you now, even though I'm late:
Congratulations Bob! It's great to know that your hard work is being acknowledged and honored within your industry. I hope you'll enjoy every moment of the process. (I also hope you win. 'Cause that'd be way cool!)
Got your name from the other Fringe guy. TH I worked with one producer on the pilot. Good luck

Congratulations on the nominations, Bob! That's a lot of nominations. Good luck and I hope you win.
