The BAFTA Award for Best Sound is a special prize given to people who create amazing sound for movies. It's presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), which is a group in the UK that celebrates great work in film, TV, and games.
This award goes to talented individuals like sound designers, sound editors, sound engineers, and sound mixers. These are the people who make sure a movie sounds just right, from quiet whispers to huge explosions. They create all the sounds you hear in a film, making the story feel real and exciting. The award has been given out every year since 1969 at the British Academy Film Awards.
In the lists below, you'll see the movies and the people who won the award. The winners are shown in bold with a gold background. The years listed are when the movies were released, not when the award ceremony happened (which is usually the next year).
