‘Barbie’ and ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ Triumph at the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards

The 14th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards celebrated the integral role of music in film and television, with 'Barbie' and 'Daisy Jones & The Six' emerging as the night's big winners. The awards ceremony, held in Los Angeles, highlighted the creative achievements of music supervisors and composers across several categories.

Major Wins for 'Barbie' and 'Daisy Jones & The Six'

In the film categories, 'Barbie' took home two awards, with George Drakoulias winning Best Music Supervision for a Film Budgeted Over 25 Million USD. Additionally, the film won for Best Song Written and/or Recorded for a Film with Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell's Oscar-nominated track, 'What Was I Made For?'

On the television front, 'Daisy Jones & The Six' also clinched two trophies. Music supervisor Frankie Pine received the award for Best Music Supervision in a Television Comedy or Musical, and the show shared its musical success with the song 'Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)', winning Best Song Written and/or Recorded for Television.

Other Noteworthy Winners

The Best Music Supervision for a Film Budgeted 25 Million USD and Under went to 'Joy Ride', while 'Theater Camp' scored the award for films under 10 Million USD. A tie occurred in the category for Best Music Supervision for a Non-Theatrically Released Film, with 'Chang Can Dunk' and 'Totally Killer' both being honored.

‘The White Lotus’ and ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami’ also stood out in television categories, picking up awards for their respective music supervision accomplishments. In the documentary realm, 'Little Richard: I Am Everything' and 'Welcome to Wrexham' were recognized for their soundtracks.

Advertising, trailers, and video games were not left behind, as they saw wins for creative uses of music in campaigns and promotional materials, with 'Marvel’s Spider-Man 2' winning in both video game categories.

In Memoriam and Other Special Moments

The late Robbie Robertson was posthumously honored with the Icon Award, commemorated by stirring performances and a legacy recognition, while Allan Mason received the Legacy Award.

Beyond the recognition of this year's fresh musical contributions, music from 'Barbie' competed with tracks they’ll confront at the Oscars, and past Guild of Music Supervisors Awards have occasionally been a precursor for the Academy's choices.
