The 60th annual ICG Publicists Awards Luncheon is underway at the Beverly Hilton, and Deadline is posting the winners as they’re announced. Check out the list below.
Presented by the International Cinematographers Guild, IATSE Local 600, the awards honor excellence in publicity and promotion campaigns for motion pictures and TV programs.
The billion-dollar grossers Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick will vie for the marquee prize along with Elvis, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Nope and The Woman King.
Another billion-dollar pic, Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, won the guild’s Maxwell Weinberg Award for movies last year, and Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso took the corresponding TV prize.
Oscar nominee Jerry Bruckheimer is set to receive the 2023 Motion Picture Showman of the Year Award today on behalf of his fellow Top Gun: Maverick producers Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie and David Ellison. Abbott Elementary creator-star Quinta Bronson will be honored with the Television Showman of the Year Award.
