Nominations Announced for Fifth Annual Golden Trailer Awards

New York, NY April 24, 2004--Nominations were announced for the Fifth Annual Golden Trailer Awards, honoring film trailers for their artistic value, at a special nominee reception this evening at the Marquee in New York City.     Much like the two-minute trailers it celebrates, the Golden Trailer Awards is a high octane rocket ride of laughs, high drama, loud music and energy. This year, the annual tribute to movie previews will be held on May 25, 2004 at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.

This year's panel of industry judges includes: Benicio Del Toro (Traffic, Snatch, and the Hunted), Neil Jordan (Director The Crying Game, Butcher Boy), Bob Osher (Co-Producer Miramax), Drew Giordano (Sr. VP Warner Bros. Pictures), Glenn Close (Stepford Wives, Le Divorce), Fisher Stevens (Co-President GreenStreet Films), Rob Minkoff (Director The Lion King, Stuart Little), Steve Carr (Director Daddy Day Care, Dr. Dolittle), Anne Chaisson (producer Rodger Dodger, PS), Paul Cohen (President Manhattan Pictures), Mary Schmidt Campbell (Dean of NYU, Tisch school of the Arts), Pablo Ferro (Titlest, Artist Dr. Strangelove), Karen Schmeer (Editor Fog of War), John Ottman (Editor, Composer, Usual Suspects) and Greg Dean Schmitz (Film Critic Yahoo Movies).    

"The formula for making a great trailer is not to follow a formula," says Evelyn Brady, co-founder of the Golden Trailer Awards. "You can hint, taunt, tease and torment the audience, but the payoff should never be in the trailer."

Launched by filmmakers Evelyn and Monica Brady, the Golden Trailer Awards is the film industry's awards show for feature film trailers: 90 minutes of pure, adrenaline-packed fun and non-stop entertainment. "It's the movie awards show guaranteed against attention deficit disorder," says Monica Brady. "Not only is it perfectly paced for our society, it celebrates the people who condense 120 minutes of movie into a two-minute minor opus."

Tickets for the show and pre-party are $150 each. Call 212-696-9770 to order by credit card
or email tickets@goldentrailer.com. Guests must be 21 & over (doors open at 6:00PM). For more information log on to www.goldentrailer.com
