The award for "OUTSTANDING LOCATIONS IN A TV ANTHOLOGY, MOVIE
OR LIMITED SERIES" went to BLACK RABBIT for its gritty and visceral
NYC locations. Haecker read
SLM PAUL ESKENAZI's prepared
statement:
"Location work on Black Rabbit was never about just finding
beautiful backgrounds, it was about building a real living world
from the ground up. To our creative partners who trusted us
to bring the vision to life, to our amazing scouting team of
JOEL
MCGLUMPHY, MATTHEW WIESNER and JONATHAN KNAPP, thank you
for finding the unfindable and helping us build that world. I am
so proud to accept it on behalf of all of you. And finally, a huge
thanks to the LMGI for this honor for recognizing the work that
goes into creating these worlds."
The equally compelling location-driven series nominated in the
category were Beef S2, Lord of the Flies, Agatha Christie's The
Seven Dials and Chief of War.
FOR FEATURE FILMS
MARTY SUPREME earned the award for "OUTSTANDING LOCATIONS IN A
PERIOD FILM," where the world of 1950's table tennis came alive as
a scrappy hustler risked everything to carry his dream from the
streets of Manhattan to international glory in Japan.
"It's a special year for me for this to happen because not just the
company that we had with the other nominees, but it's a year that
I found myself going to the movies a lot more," said
LM MATTHEW
KANIA, via video. "Thank you to the Guild, congratulations to
everybody else in the department. This is a tribute to them as well."
"Our whole location team worked incredibly hard on this movie,"
echoed
LM ROSS BRODAR/LMGI, also beaming in from NY. "Marty
Supreme was a huge undertaking and I couldn't be prouder of
how it came out. Thank you so much!"
Hamnet, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, The Secret Agent and
Train Dreams were the impressive contenders also nominated in
the category.
