Disney had the most wins of any studio with 29 awards
Amazon MGM’s “Project Hail Mary” marketing swept the Golden Trailer Awards Thursday with five wins. The film’s trailer titled “Chance” from Wild Card Creative Group won Best in Show prize at the event at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. “Project Hail Mary” also took awards for Best Drama, Best Fantasy/Adventure, Best Music and Best Action TrailerByte for a Feature Film.
“’Project Hail Mary’s’ ‘Chance’ is a master class in everything that can make a trailer effective, from spectacular visuals to arresting sound design to emotional music choices to disarming humor,” said Evelyn Brady, Golden Trailer Awards executive director. “This trailer and the others for ‘Project Hail Mary’ clearly connected with audiences, helping to make the film a global box office hit. We congratulate the teams from Amazon MGM Studios and Wild Card Creative, as well as all of tonight’s winners and honorees for another fun and very competitive year.”
The Agency of the Year award went to AV Squad for the third year straight. The agency and its print arm AV Print took home the most wins of any agency with 14.
“Congratulations to AV Squad, who have dominated this top honor and once again showed why with depth, breadth, and the diverse quality of their work this year,” said Monica Brady, the show’s executive producer. “They bring every project a unique and bespoke touch and approach that serves the film and audiences so well.”
Three Warner Bros. hits, “One Battle After Another,” “Weapons” and “Sinners” took home three awards each. Warner Bros. Discovery titles amassed 22 wins, while Disney and all its divisions led the studios with 29 wins.
Comedian Morgan Jay hosted the awards, with the top 19 categories presented live during the event.
