“Becoming Led Zeppelin” won an award at the Cinema Audio Society Awards in Beverly Hills, California on March 7.
The film won the “Motion Pictures — Documentary” category, with production sound mixer Nigel Albermaniche and re-recording mixer Nick Bergh credited for the win.
Other films nominated in the category were “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley”, “I Was Born This Way”, “Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery” and “Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror”.
“Thank you to the Cinema Audio Society for this prestigious honor and huge congratulations to Nick Bergh and Nigel Albermanchine and the entire team at Paradise Pictures,” the film’s producer Allison McGourty wrote on Instagram following the victory.
Nick Bergh, who collected the award, was interviewed about his work on the film for a feature in Sound on Sound magazine.
Bergh’s philosophy is “the best restoration is no restoration”, the magazine wrote. “I couldn’t imagine mixing a film like this without personally doing every single transfer, because that’s really where the sound gets locked in,” Bergh said in the story. “That’s where the cake is being baked. Everything else is just kind of frosting.”
The win for “Becoming Led Zeppelin” comes ahead of the 2026 Writers Guild Awards ceremony that will take place on March 8. “Becoming Led Zeppelin” has been nominated in the documentary screenplay category.
