A good trailer can drum up excitement for blockbusters like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War months ahead of time (helping them reach record-breaking box office numbers), and can also build momentum for non-superhero films like Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water and John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place. All four of those films have trailers nominated for this year’s Golden Trailer Awards, celebrating the best in movie promotion (check out last year’s winners here). This year marks the 19th annual Golden Trailer ceremony recognizing the work of trailer houses, studio marketing teams, voice-over actors, and others involved in creating commercials, trailers, poster, and assorted promotional products for films. There are dozens of categories, 15 of which will be presented live on May 31 at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles in a ceremony hosted Michelle Buteau (The Tick). The Shape of Water and The Hitman’s Bodyguard lead the pack with eight total nominations apiece, but there was plenty of room for many other films to earn nods. Below are a few of the contenders, along with their studios and the companies that cut the trailers. More information, including the full list of nominees, can be found at www.goldentrailer.com.
