    “Once again we’ve assembled a Curatorial Committee that reflects an impressive cross-section of our industry,” said AMP president Elad Marish, partner at Swell Music + Sound in San Francisco. “Its members are all experts at putting music and sound to picture to create something larger than the sum of its parts. With their guidance, our competition will single out the strongest entry in each category, and ensure that those doing the best work get their moment in the sun.”

    Added Hornaday, “I’m looking forward to our discussions about the work, and hearing the diverse perspectives from all the different areas of the music business that are represented. I’ve judged a lot of awards shows, but this is the first time I’ll be presiding over a panel that includes people from music labels and publishing companies, as well as agency creatives and producers. I’m eager to tap into everyone’s insights as we search for that one entry destined to be the Best in Show.”

    The only juried, non-profit competition dedicated to honoring achievements in music and sound in all media, the AMP Awards are sponsored by the Association of Music Producers. Among the highlights of the awards show night will be the presentation of the AMP Hall of Fame trophy, bestowed upon an innovative marketer in recognition of its continued use of music and sound in building strong consumer engagement. The event also includes live performances from up-and-coming artists, which has led to it being known as “the loudest show in the ad industry.” To purchase tickets for the event, click here.

    Linda Lavin, Tony-Winning Actor Who Starred In The Sitcom “Alice,” Dies At 87

    Monday, December 30, 2024

    Linda Lavin, a Tony Award-winning stage actor who became a working class icon as a paper-hat wearing waitress on the TV sitcom "Alice," has died. She was 87.

    Lavin died in Los Angeles on Sunday of complications from recently discovered lung cancer, her representative, Bill Veloric, told The Associated Press in an email.

    A success on Broadway, Lavin tried her luck in Hollywood in the mid-1970s. She was chosen to star in a new CBS sitcom based on "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," the Martin Scorsese-directed film that won Ellen Burstyn an Oscar for playing the title waitress.
