FOURTH ANNUAL GUILD OF MUSIC SUPERVISORS AWARDS
FEBRUARY 26, 2014 AT MACK SENNETT STUDIOS IN HOLLYWOOD

Motion Pictures “Frozen,” “American Hustle,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Gravity,” “Her,” “The Great Gatsby,” “Saving Mr. Banks,” “Inside Llewyn Davis,” are a sampling of films that received nods. “Breaking Bad,” “Scandal,” “True Blood,” “Orange is the New Black,” “Behind the Candelabra,” “Girls,” “American Horror Story,” “Shameless,” “Nashville” and “Boardwalk Empire” are included in the television categories.
Brands Pepsi, Nike, Converse and Apple all received recognition as contenders in the advertising division. In the gaming category, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Rising, Gran Turismo 6, FIFA 14 and NBA Live 14 were highlighted as nominees.
As the film community celebrated the 100 anniversary of Charlie Chaplin arriving in Hollywood to work on Mack Sennett silent films, The Guild of Music Supervisors selected Mack Sennett Studios to host their awards to call attention the role of Music Supervision and existing music has contributed to the history of motion picture. As Irving Thalberg pointed out there has never been a silent movie industry, there’s always been music. The first sound picture, The Jazz Singer, featured both original and existing music in the film. During Oscar week, we focus on the role of music supervision has continued to contribute in all media storytelling with the hope that the Motion Picture Academy recognize this contribution.
The fourth annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards is sponsored by Interscope, APM, BMG, Audio Network, Megatrax, Ole, Music Box, Warner Chappell Production Music, TAXI, Killer Tracks, ABKCO, 19 Entertainment, SESAC, Harry Warren Entertainment, BMI & FirstCom.
