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.
