Of all my problems with Top Gun: Maverick, its sound design was wonderful and I would have no problem with it taking this award.

They also like films on/near/under water. I'm surprised this is viewed as being easy. I think it's a four way race and am predicting All Quiet on the Western Front.

The nominees:
All Quiet on the Western Front
Avatar: the Way of Water
The Batman
Elvis
Top Gun: Maverick
This one is viewed as pretty easy -- Top Gun: Maverick, already a favorite, won the CAS prize.
Facts to introduce doubt into that consensus:
1) All Quiet won BAFTA. War films have won sound prizes of late -- perhaps more in the defunct Sound Editing (Letters from Iwo Jima, Zero Dark Thirty, American Sniper) than here (The Hurt Locker, Dunkirk, 1917), but this is now the only place to highlight such achievement.
2) Music films have historically won the category quite often, with Sound of Metal a really recent instance.
So, All Quiet and Elvis can't be ruled out, if voters are in a feisty mood.
