The International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600) has announced the motion picture nominees for its 59th annual ICG Publicists Awards, which have long been a favorite of this reporter each awards season.
Disney’s Kira Feola and Paramount’s David Waldman will compete for the Les Mason Award for Achievement in Publicity along with unit publicists Jackie Bazan, Gabriela Gutentag and Sheryl Main, as well as independent publicist Leonard Morpurgo.
Meanwhile, Paramount’s Michelle Alt and Hayley Morrow were nominated for Publicist of the Year alongside Disney’s Marshall Weinbaum and 42West’s Annalee Paulo-Hensley, as well as unit publicists John Oisani and Claire Raskind.
The 2022 ICG Publicists Awards will be held on Friday, March 25, at the Beverly Hilton. The guild will soon announce the recipients of its Motion Picture Showman of the Year and Television Showman of the Year awards, while the Bob Yeager Award for Community Service will be announced at the ceremony.
