Slumdog Millionaire‘s production mixer Resul Pookutty and re-recording mixers Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke were presented with the award for outstanding achievement in motion picture sound mixing at the 45th Annual Cinema Audio Awards ceremony, held on Saturday at the Millennium-Biltmore Hotel.
Dedicating the award to the ”sound gods of India,” Pookutty said: “This is the biggest honor I can ever get. Twelve years ago in India I started in production sound. There was basically no production sound in that country. When I started off, I walked to the train station. I had no money. This is recognition of my struggle and of so many people like me working in the entertainment industry.”
