[edit] Overview

The Golden Trailer Awards were founded in 2000 by sisters Evelyn Brady-Watters and Monica Brady, who continue to produce and direct the show. As professionals in the advertising industry, the Brady sisters decided there should be an awards ceremony to celebrate the pleasurable aspect of watching a film trailer[1]. A panel of judges selected from top level industry directors, producers, actors, writers, executives, exhibitors, advertising creatives vote on the winners of 62 categories. Comedians host and present the formal event, which takes place annually each May in Los Angeles.[2] The live show distributes 16 awards out of the 62 categories and is open to the public.[3]

The physical Golden Trailer Award is hand made and comprised of metal and acrylic components. The award is electroplated with 14 karat gold or German silver, and embossed details are created by machine cutting and laser etching.[4]

Although similar to the Key Art Awards[1], which celebrate achievements in advertising and communications [5], the Golden Trailer Awards is more of a party setting, and takes place in venues such as private mansions in the Hollywood Hills[6].

The Golden Trailer Awards are currently in their 14th year of celebrating the art form of film promotion, which will be presented May 3, 2013.

[edit] Judging Panel

The Golden Trailer Awards judging panel is comprised of film and advertising producers, directors and executives. The first judging panel on September 21st, 1999 featured film producer Stephen Woolley, who worked with the Brady sisters in creating the event, and film directorQuentin Tarantino[7]. In 2012, the judging panel included “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau, “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman and “Young Adult” actor Patton Oswalt.[8]
