Every year on the Friday before the Oscars comes the luncheon for the ICG Publicists Awards. This is the 60th anniversary and it’s a big deal. The Publicists Award is for the best campaign of the season, the movie you knew about well before it opened and actually went to or saw as a result.
This year the nominees for the award, named for Maxwell Weinberg, are for Avatar, Elvis, Glass Onion, Nope, Top Gun Maverick, and The Woman King.
It would be hard to choose a winner among those titles, the first four especially.
The award, along with others, will be presented at a lunch at the Beverly Hilton on March 10th.
The announcement was made by Tim Menke and Sheryl Main, ICG Publicists Awards Chairs.
“The outstanding nominations this year shine a bright light not only on the diversity of the films submitted but also the individual challenges the publicity teams faced in this highly competitive field,” said Main.
