The '''Academy Award for Best Sound''' is an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] that recognizes the finest [[Audio mixing (film and television)|sound mixing]], recording, [[sound design]], and [[Sound editor (filmmaking)|sound editing]]. The award used to go to the studio sound departments until a rule change in 1969 said it should be awarded to the specific technicians, the first of which were [[Murray Spivack]] and [[Jack Solomon (sound engineer)|Jack Solomon]] for ''[[Hello, Dolly! (film)|Hello, Dolly!]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=May 8, 1999|title=Pros play favorites|last=Koehler|first=Robert}}</ref> It is generally awarded to the [[production sound mixer]]s, [[re-recording mixer]]s, and [[Sound editor (filmmaking)|supervising sound editor]]s of the winning film. In the lists below, the winner of the award for each year is shown first, followed by the other nominees. For most of the period from 1963 to 2019 two separate awards were given for sound:  Best Sound Mixing (just called Best Sound in some years) and Best Sound Effects Editing (just called Best Sound Effects, or Best Sound Editing in some years).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2020/04/oscars-major-changes-academy-awards-coronavirus-1202919950/ |title=Oscars Keeping Show Date But Make Big News As Academy Lightens Eligibility Rules, Combines Sound Categories, Ends DVD Screeners and More |last=Hammond |first=Pete |date=April 28, 2020 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] }}</ref>
