LMGI COMPASS
|
Fall 2022
It was the luxe locales and seductive style, wealth and excess of
one of Italy's most legendary fashion houses that netted the award
for House of Gucci. Elisabetta Tomasso/LMGI and Piernicola
Pinnola/LMGI accepted remotely from Italy. Tomasso thanked
"Our amazing location teams throughout Italy, in the Alps, Milan,
Como and Rome." Added Pinnola, "We couldn't have done this
without you guys!"
The nominees for Outstanding Locations in a Contemporary
Film, also announced by Cromwell, were just as satisfying. Oscar
winner CODA told the story of a deaf family fishing Cape Anne,
Massachusetts; Drive My Car, a foreign film Oscar winner, traveled
the roads of modern-day Hiroshima; Everything Everywhere All at
Once unraveled the multiverse in the suburbs of LA; In the Heights
sang and danced through the diverse LatinX community of Upper
Manhattan. And Top Gun: Maverick pulled G's over locations in
California, northern Washington and Nevada.
The exotic locations for explosive, treacherous missions
and death-defying stunts are the staple of any Bond film. No
Time to Die prevailed in the category. "Incidentally, they're
casting a new James Bond and I'm available. Cromwell… James
Cromwell," quipped Cromwell much to the crowd's delight,
before announcing the winner.
Accepting via video were location professionals Mandy Sharpe
and Duncan Broadfoot. "To be part of this franchise is something
rather special," said Broadfoot. "We share this award with all
our 007 location colleagues across the globe, including Italy, the
United Kingdom, Jamaica, Norway and the Faroe Isles… And
thanks to the LMGI for everything they are doing to support the
location community and recognizing our work."

This year's LMGI'S HUMANITARIAN AWARD was presented by KTLA
anchor Megan Henderson to actor
ORLANDO BLOOM. "I'm closely
aligned with UNICEF," Henderson said. "They take their mission
seriously, and only those with that same absolute passion are
allowed to join as Goodwill Ambassadors. Bloom has dedicated
his life and celebrity to improving the lives of children throughout
the world."
As a star of film and stage, Orlando Bloom has taken audiences
to exotic locations in the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean films
and the Academy Award-winning trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.
