Abstract This article looks at surround sound in contemporary cinema, with the aim of discussing practices of sound design and, more particularly, pinpointing a ‘best practice’ of surround sound today – focusing here on the practices in the US. The empirical starting point for the analysis is a study of ten Oscar-nominated movies, analysing their soundtracks and especially comparing their stereo and surround versions. The method can be described as a ‘directional’ listening mode, analysing how the different channels and speakers are used when presenting sonic elements like voices, music, atmospheres and sound effects.

摘要本文着眼于当代电影院中的环绕声，目的是讨论声音设计的实践，尤其是要指出当今环绕声的“最佳实践”，重点是美国的实践。该分析的经验出发点是对十部奥斯卡提名的电影进行研究，分析其配乐，尤其是比较其立体声和环绕声版本。该方法可以描述为“定向”聆听模式，分析在呈现声音元素（例如声音，音乐，气氛和声音效果）时如何使用不同的声道​​和扬声器。
