The music supervisors for “Wicked,” “A Complete Unknown” and “I Saw the TV Glow” won the top feature film awards at the 15th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, which took place on Sunday at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
“Wicked” won in the Best Music Supervision in the Major Budget Films category, “A Complete Unknown” won in the mid-level budget category and “I Saw the TV Glow” won for low-budget films.
“The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat” won for non-theatrically released films.
The Oscar-nominated song “Like a Bird” from “Sing Sing” won in the Best Song Written and/or Recorded for a Film category — and in a pointed rebuke to the Oscars’ decision not to perform the nominated songs during that show, “Like a Bird” and two other songs were performed at the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards ceremony.
Television winners included “Baby Reindeer,” “English Teacher,” “Love Island USA” and “Agatha All Along.”
