Rob Schneider, Aisha Tyler to Host GOLDEN TRAILER AWARDS; 2013 Nominees Announced

Rob Schneider and Aisha Tyler will set the comic tone as hosts of the 14th AnnuAl Golden Trailer Awards, a fun-filled show that celebrates the year's best movie previews. Also announced by Evelyn Brady-Watters, GTA Executive Director and Monica Brady, Executive Producer, are the nominations for 2013, a year marked by a record number of submissions. The live event will take place at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA on Friday, May 3. For more information, please see http://www.GoldenTrailer.com.

THE 2013 NOMINATIONS:

According to Evelyn Brady-Watters, "2013 was a banner year for entries. We received over 1,200 trailer submissions, which marks an 11% increase over last year. This speaks to the growing importance of the Golden Trailers for the movie marketing business."

With well over 5 billion streaming views worldwide in 2011, trailers are now as much of an entertainment event as the movies they promote. The Golden Trailer Awards are the world's top honors for these previews, recognizing achievements in categories ranging from Best Summer Blockbuster and Best Comedy to Best Documentary, along with Best Video Game and favorites such as Trashiest Trailer and the Golden Fleece Award, the prize for best trailer for the worst movie.

The major trend in trailer production this year is in the length of the preview reels, explains Monica Brady: "The exploding viewership of trailers on mobile devices has steadily shortened the average trailer from 2:30 minutes to two minutes and change."

Awards in the 16 "Show Categories" below will be presented at the live event, along with an additional trophy for "Best in Show." In total, 70 Golden Trailer Awards will be given this year. Go to the Awards page of the Golden Trailer website for the full list of nominees.
