    LOS ANGELES --

    Multi-hyphenate James Mangold will receive the Cinema Audio Society Filmmaker Award at the 56th Annual CAS Awards on January 25th, at the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown.

    Mangold is an Oscar-nominated writer and director whose work defies easy categorization. Leapfrogging from Sundance indie to cop noir, psychological drama to romantic fantasy, pulp horror to musical biopic, traditional western to round the world caper, two films starring a beloved Marvel hero, and now, with his 10th feature, Ford v Ferrari, Mangold continues to expand his repertoire while keeping constant the humanist themes, intimate moving performances, striking imagery and staging that have come to define and unify his work. Award-winning films Mangold has written and directed include Heavy, Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma, and Logan.

    “The Cinema Audio Society is delighted to honor James Mangold.  His ability to create various quintessentially stylized worlds that appeal to a large mélange of audience makes him an expert storyteller,” said CAS president Karol Urban. “He is a unique talent who has written, produced, and directed a large variety of genres and formats that have garnered him many awards including our own CAS Award for Outstanding Sound Mixing for his film Walk the Line.”

    Mangold will be the 15th CAS Filmmaker Honoree.  Past honorees have been: Steven Spielberg, Joe Wright, Jon Favreau, Jay Roach, Richard Linklater, Edward Zwick, Jonathan Demme, Rob Marshall, Taylor Hackford, Henry Selick, Paul Mazursky, Bill Condon, Gil Cates and Quentin Tarantino.

    Also, being honored that evening with the CAS Career Achievement Award is previously announced honoree, re-recording mixer Tom Fleischman CAS.  

    The CAS Awards will honor Outstanding Achievements in Sound Mixing in seven categories for film and television, as well as  present the CAS Student Recognition Award.

    The Cinema Audio Society, a philanthropic, non-profit organization, was formed in 1964 for the purpose of educating and informing the general public and the motion picture and television industry that effective cinematic sound is achieved by a creative, artistic and technical blending of diverse sound elements.

    Marshall Brickman, who co-wrote “Annie Hall” with Woody Allen, dies at 85

    The Oscar-winning screenwriter Marshall Brickman, whose wide-ranging career spanned some of Woody Allen 's best films, the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys" and a number of Johnny Carson's most beloved sketches, has died. He was 85.

    Brickman died Friday in Manhattan, his daughter Sophie Brickman told The New York Times. No cause of death was cited.

    Brickman was best known for his extensive collaboration with Allen, beginning with the 1973 film "Sleeper." Together, they co-wrote "Annie Hall" (1977), "Manhattan" (1979) and "Manhattan Murder Mystery" (1993). The loosely structured script for "Annie Hall," in particular, has been hailed as one of the wittiest comedies. It won Brickman and Allen an Oscar for best original screenplay.

    In his acceptance speech (Allen skipped the ceremony), Brickman referenced one of the film's many oft-quoted lines, saying: "I've been out here a week, and I still have guilt when I make a right turn on a red light."

    "If the film is worth anything," Brickman told Vanity Fair in 2017, "it gives a very particular specific image of what it was like to be alive in New York at that time in that particular social-economic stratum."

    Brickman and Allen had met in the early 1960s, when Allen was breaking through as a stand-up comedian. Brickman was brought on to write jokes for him. At the time, he had been playing banjo for the folk group the Tarriers. In one of the many twists of Brickman's career, it was an album he and his college roommate Eric Weissberg recorded that later made the soundtrack to 1972's "Deliverance," including "Dueling Banjos."

    Brickman, born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the son of Jewish socialists Abram (who fled Poland during WWII) and Pauline (Wolin) Brickman, who was from New York.... Read More
