The music supervisors of “Elvis” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” have won the top feature-film awards at the 13th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, which were handed out on Sunday night at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
Anton Monsted won the award for music supervision of a film that cost more than $25 million for “Elvis,” while Lauren Marie Mikus and Bruce Gilbert won for a film under $25 million for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” That film also won for the best song written or recorded for a film, which went to the Oscar-nominated “This Is a Life,” written by Ryan Lott, David Byrne and Mitski.
Rob Lowry won the two other film awards, one for his music supervision of “Cha Cha Real Smooth” (Best Music Supervision for a Film Budgeted $10 Million and Under) and one for “Do Revenge (Best Music Supervision for a Non-Theatrically Released Film.”
In the television categories, awards went to the music supervisors from “Stranger Things,” “Insecure” and “The Come Up,” as well as the song “Perfect Day” from “Better Call Saul.”
Documentary awards were given to “Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off” and “The Andy Warhol Diaries,” while trailer awards went to “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “The White Lotus” and “Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.”
Awards were also given out in commercial and videogame categories.
