“Year in and year out for the past two decades, the Golden Trailer Awards have recognized the most outstanding achievements in film and television marketing, and in recent years we have added categories that have celebrated the best marketing for gaming content,” said GTA Founder Evelyn Watters. “Congratulations go out to all of this year’s honorees and nominees, but especially to the teams at AV Squad and Lionsgate for their “Best of Show” win and to this year’s most recognized teams at Netflix, Warner Bros., Disney, Marvel, Buddha Jones and Mark Woollen & Associates. They wowed moviegoers and our judges by creating the most innovative, impactful and memorable trailers and collateral marketing materials of the year.”

Added GTA executive producer Monica Brady, “We have seen so many changes in this industry over the last 20 years – more content, more creativity but at the essence of any great marketing campaign is a great trailer. It was the cornerstone then and it remains the cornerstone now.”
