Veteran soundman and Irish citizen Doug Murray nominated for his work on The Batman
The couple moved to Ireland in the late 1980s and Mr Murray found work with Ardmore Studios as the Irish film industry enjoyed a renaissance following the introduction of the Section 35 tax break for movie production.
“We brought editors and mixers from Skywalker Sound and Hollywood to take lead roles on films and to teach our courses. We mixed films by John Boorman, Neil Jordan, Gerry Stembridge and Peter Sheridan, among many others, as well as TV shows from the BBC and RTÉ.” “The professors and instructors, who were all younger than me, and my fellow students, who were all younger than my children, were very accepting of me and welcomed my diverse set of experiences, as I appreciated theirs.
Mr Murray is looking forward to Sunday night’s ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles which he will attend with his wife and daughter, Lydia, with his first Oscar nomination being made all the more poignant by the fact that it will also be his last.
