8Th Annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards Winners Announced
Outstanding music to picture is powered by a dedicated group of professionals that specialize in synch licensing: music supervisors. They got their due on Thursday, February 8th, when the Guild of Music Supervisors unveiled the winners of their 8th Annual Awards, at a star-studded ceremony at the ACE Hotel in Downtown LA.
Many of the featured awards were well-deserved, and two just happened to be picked up a husband/wife team. Season Kent got the win as “Best Music Supervisor” for the intense and music-packed Netflix drama “13 Reasons Why.” Kent must have had some positive crosstalk with her husband Kier Lehman, who was victorious in the category “Best Music Supervision In a Television Comedy or Musical” for the outstanding HBO series “Insecure (Season 2)”.
The work on the music-heavy HBO docuseries The Defiant Ones was also recognized. The accomplished sample clearance architect Deborah Mannis-Gardner, of DMG Clearances, Inc., won in the “Best Music Supervision in a Docuseries or Reality Television” category. The Defiant Ones examined the careers of music business legends Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre.
