Coast LM GIUSEPPE NARDI/LMGI for RIPLEY, who accepted for SLM
ROBIN MELVILLE/LMGI, LMs FABIO FERRANTE (Rome & Sicily) and
SHANE HADEN (NY). The evocative and dramatic locations found in
regions all over Italy and in New York City helped secure the win
over the equally compelling location- driven series nominated in
the category: Baby Reindeer, Feud: Capote vs the Swans, Griselda,
Masters of the Air and True Detective: Night Country.
Harris presented the award for
"OUTSTANDING LOCATIONS IN A
SINGLE COMMERCIAL" to MARK FREID/LMGI and PAUL RIORDAN/LMGI
for Washington State's dramatic locations in a touching story of
memories lost and found in
TOYOTA: PRESENT FROM THE PAST.
Carhartt's History in the Making, Coca-Cola's The Santa Stories: The
Note, NFL Super Bowl LVIII's Born to Play and Tesla's Cybertruck
were the contenders for the top spot in a category where the vision
of the location professional helps a director tell an entire story in
a matter of seconds—or minutes—in the most spectacular way.

LM DENNIS MUSCARI accepted the award for
OPPENHEIMER in the category of "OUTSTANDING LOCATIONS IN A PERIOD
FILM" from actor Helena-Alexis Seymour (Chronicles of Jessica Wu
and xXx: Return of Xander Cage). He thanked fellow LMs in New
York and Los Angeles—JUSTIN
DUNCAN/LMGI, PATTY CAREY PERAZZO
and T.C. TOWNSEN—for the team effort that brought the riveting
telling of the atomic bomb's creation story to life.
"This one was a lot for me because I am from New Mexico and the
story was a bit of history for the state and the world," Muscari
said. "It was great to bring it to the screen."
