Hollywood is getting ready to honor those behind the marketing of many hit movies with the revealing of the nominations for the upcoming 20th Annual Golden Trailer Awards, set to take place on May 29 at The Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, with Netflix surprising the lot and carrying the most nominations at 66, while also seeing Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Elton John biopic Rocketman also earning nominations ahead of their Cannes debuts.
“The very first Golden Trailer Awards show was held 20 years ago on September 21, 1999 in New York,” Evelyn Watters, Golden Trailers Awards Executive Director, said. “Over the years we have had some wonderful hosts, some very special judges and have been able to honor many great artists who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create the trailers that drive audiences to theaters. For our 20th celebration, we are going all out and we have some very special surprises and special guests planned. More than anything else, we are beyond elated at how this show has grown over the decades and how much a nomination and a trophy means to this community. It is a true validation of the extraordinary creative work that contributes to the success of the best films of the year.”
The musical romantic drama A Star is Born, which was also nominated for eight Academy Awards, holds the most nominations for any film title with 12, followed by Netflix’s Oscar-winning Roma with 11 nominations and Jordan Peele’s sophomore outing Us with 10.
