"No Country for Old Men" won the 44th annual Cinema Audio Society Awards competition for outstanding achievement in sound mixing for motion pictures.
Accepting the award Saturday at the Millennium Biltmore were production mixer Peter Kurland and re-recording mixers Skip Lievsay, Craig Berkey and Gregg Orloff.
"Sound became another character and a part of the storyline, which was unique because it was exposed," Berkey said following the ceremony. "Our challenge was to make that believable, scary and suspenseful."
CAS presented its Filmmaker Award to "Dreamgirls" writer and director Bill Condon. In accepting, Condon said, "Movies these days are being rushed into production before there is script. It falls on you more and more to smooth it out and tell a coherent story."
Additionally, composer Alan Silvestri presented four-time Academy Award nominee Dennis Sands -- whose credits include "Forrest Gump", "Contact" and "Cast Away" -- the CAS Career Achievement Award.
In the category of television movies and miniseries, the winner was "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", with the awards going to production mixer George Tarrant and re-recording mixers Rick Ash and Edward C.
