The 10th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards were held at the The Wiltern theater in Los Angeles on Thursday night (Feb. 6). Winners in the film categories included Mary Ramos for “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” Kier Lehman for “Queen & Slim” and Terri D’Ambrosio for “The Last Black Man In San Francisco.”
In television, Robin Urdang, winner of the music supervision Emmy in 2019, took top honors for a comedy for season 2 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Jill Meyers for the debut season of “Songland” and Adam Leber and Jen Malone for “Euphoria.”
In the original song field, Regina Spektor’s “One Little Soldier,” which she wrote for “Bombshell” and performed at the ceremony, defeated tunes from “Frozen II” and “The Lion King,” among others. Additional performers included Burt Bacharach, who was presented with the Guild’s Icon Award, Israeli duo Lola Marsh and Emmylou Harris, who appeared in honor of Legacy Award recipient Bob Hunka, a pioneer of music supervision.
Presenters who handed out the awards included Kristen Chenoweth, Michael Bolton, Jay Roach, Reggie Watts, Alex Winter and Peter Gallagher.
Said Guild president Joel C. High: “Over the past 10 years, the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards has grown into an important fixture in the Hollywood award circle. … Looking into the future, we hope that these awards will garner more attention from other institutions such as The Academy.”
