The Golden Reel Award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing – Dialogue and ADR for Feature Film is an annual award given by the Motion Picture Sound Editors. It honors sound editors whose work has warranted merit in the field of theater; in this case, their work in the field of automated dialogue replacement, or ADR. It was first awarded in 1964, for films released the previous year, under the title Best Sound Editing – Loop Lines. The following year, the award was re-titled Best Sound Editing – Dialogue, and would remain this until 1984, before being changed to Best Sound Editing – ADR. In 1991, the "dialogue" and "ADR" aspects of the process were divided into separate categories and would, intermittently, be awarded for the next seven years, before combining again in 1998, under the title Best Sound Editing – Dialogue & ADR. The award has been given with its current title since 2018.
