Published

on

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., (FNN NEWS) — The Golden Trailer Awards, the entertainment industry’s best and most fun-filled celebration devoted to the year’s most outstanding achievements in motion picture and television marketing, announced today the nominees in the 17th annual competition that has emerged as one of the most anticipated and recognized events acknowledging the work of film marketers and companies that create movie trailers, commercials and posters worldwide. Evelyn Watters, Golden Trailer Awards Executive Director, announced the 2016 nominees along with the show’s Executive Producer Monica Brady. GTA 17 will take place on Wednesday, May 4th at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills.

Universal Pictures led this year’s count by studio with a combined total of 46 nominations (including Focus Features) for films including The Huntsman: Winter’s War, Hail! Caesar, Steve Jobs, Straight Outta Comptonand The Secret Life of Pets, among others. In second place by studio is Fox (which includes Fox Searchlight), with a total of 44 nominations for work on projects including Deadpool, The Martian and The Revenant among other titles. Warner Bros. (which includes subsidiaries including New Line Cinema) scored with 37 nominations on campaigns ranging from Mad Max: Fury Road and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice to Black Massand Suicide Squad. Disney (which includes Marvel Studios and other companies) tallied 36 nominations for their work on films including Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Jungle Book, Inside Out, and Alice Through The Looking Glass. Lionsgate garnered 34 nods for their work on films such as Sicario, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, as well as others.

Top trailer houses in this year’s pack included Trailer Park with 28 noms, Mark Woollen & Associates with 21 nominations, AV Squad had 20, Zealot had 18 nods this year and Buddha Jones earned 16. On the agency side, LA was the leading creative house for their work on 32 of this year’s print nominees.

The Golden Trailer Awards are presented live on stage to nominees in diverse categories that range from serious to lighthearted, including Best Summer Blockbuster Trailer Award, Trashiest Trailer, Best of Show, and the most popular award of the night: the Golden Fleece Award, bestowed on the best trailer for the film where the marketing was considered better than the film itself.

Explained Watters, “Everyone loves trailers. They are the most important and impactful part of a film campaign and they now live well beyond the movie theaters and have become the most consistently popular content online. The Golden Trailer Awards celebrates the trailer as an art form and recognizes those who work incredibly long hours behind the scenes to create this masterful short form entertainment.”

16 of the top honors are presented “live” on stage at the celebratory show, which routinely sells out and draws a heavy industry crowd of studio and network marketing executives, representatives from creative agencies, media and celebrities.

This year’s competition drew a record number of submissions, up nearly 15% from last year’s total.

Dr. Phillips Center’s Free Frontyard Holiday Festival Returns to Downtown Orlando Nov. 27

Published

on

ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN) — The holidays are returning to downtown Orlando as the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts brings back its free Frontyard Holiday Festival, transforming the Frontyard and Seneff Arts Plaza into a holiday destination from Nov. 27 through Dec. 31.

The Frontyard Holiday Festival at Dr. Phillips Center, supported by AdventHealth, will feature nightly snowfall, live entertainment, holiday movies, themed nights, firepits, seasonal food and beverages, interactive experiences, light displays and performances by local artists and community groups.

Admission is free.

“This festival is part of our vision to create more free experiences in the Frontyard, one of the 1,000 annual free events planned as part of our master plan,” Dr. Phillips Center President and CEO Kathy Ramsberger said. “These events are designed to bring our community together while creating new opportunities that attract visitors and contribute to Orlando’s vibrant tourism economy.”

Nightly Snowfall Returns to Downtown Orlando

The festival opens Friday, Nov. 27, and runs through New Year’s Eve, giving Central Florida residents and visitors more than a month to experience the celebration.

Nightly snowfall will return as one of the festival’s signature attractions, along with holiday movie screenings and seasonal performances.

A rare musical attraction will also return this year: the only transportable carillon in North America.

The instrument features nearly four tons of bronze bells and will bring traditional holiday sounds to the outdoor festival.

Free Holiday Experience for Orlando Families

Organizers said the festival is part of the Dr. Phillips Center’s broader effort to increase free arts and cultural programming while creating a gathering place for residents and visitors in downtown Orlando.

AdventHealth returns as a major supporter of the event.

“The holidays invite us to slow down, reconnect and make memories with the people who matter most,” said Sharon Line Clary, AdventHealth’s senior vice president of community impact and partnership engagement.

Clary said the partnership is designed to help create a welcoming community space centered on celebration and connection.

Holiday Shows Coming Inside Dr. Phillips Center

The outdoor festival will coincide with a separate lineup of holiday entertainment inside the performing arts center.

The 2026 holiday schedule includes Lindsey Stirling, “The Nutcracker,” Vienna Light Orchestra, Irish Christmas in America, Straight No Chaser and “A Very Broadway Christmas.”

Other scheduled productions include “The Unauthorized Hallmarkish Parody” and “Adam Biner: A Jewish Boy’s Love Letter to Christmas.”
