The Guild of Music Supervisors held its landmark 10th annual award ceremony this evening at The Wiltern in Los Angeles celebrating outstanding achievement in the craft of Music Supervision in movies, television, games, advertising, and trailers. Over 1,000 attendees joined the Guild to honor the 31 crafts makers, who were recognized for their stellar musical accomplishments in 2019. Industry music legends Burt Bacharach and Bob Hunka crowned the evening as Bacharach received this year’s Icon Award, and Hunka received the prestigious Legacy Award. The complete winners list for the 10thAnnual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards is listed below.
Special guest performers included Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Regina Spektor and the indie pop band Lola Marsh, with both artists taking two of the evening’s awards home. The statues were handed out by a star-studded slate of presenters, including Kristen Chenoweth, Michael Bolton, Daniel Ezra, Dash Mihok, Jay Roach, Reggie Watts, Spencer Paysinger, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Alex Winter, and Peter Gallagher.
President of the Guild of Music Supervisors Joel C. High had this to say about the awards ceremony, "Over the past 10 years, the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards has grown into an important fixture in the Hollywood award circle. We are overjoyed to celebrate with our amazing nominees and winners and to have so many industry luminaries join us as performers, presenters, and guests in the audience. Looking into the future, we hope that these awards will garner more attention from other institutions such as The Academy. To another decade of outstanding music supervision!
Three-time Academy Award® and two-time Golden Globe®-winning songwriter and composer Burt Bacharach received the Guild of Music Supervisors Icon Award to honor his incredible creative achievements in storytelling for films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Alfie, Arthur, Austin Powers, and more. On stage with director Jay Roach (Bombshell, Austin Powers), Bacharach mentioned, "The films that I've done I got very INTO the film. Never used a cliptrack; I memorized the film and wrote to what I saw."
Legendary country singer Emmylou Harris gave a surprise guest performance before she presented the Legacy Award to her longtime friend Bob Hunka. His career spans managing a Symphony Orchestra (Edmonton), a mobile recording studio (Enactron), an independent record production company that counted Anne Murray, Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash among its clients (Happy Sack Productions), and Dolly Parton’s music publishing company (Velvet Apple Music). During his acceptance speech Hunka commented, "My philosophy – how I sold it was: we can use the ear to fool the eye. The [big film scenes] will actually look better if there's big music underneath. THAT is the power of music in film and TV."
