    LOS ANGELES --

    The Guild of Music Supervisors held its 12th annual awards ceremony on Sunday evening (3/20) virtually, celebrating outstanding achievement in the craft of music supervision in film, television, documentaries, games, advertising, and trailers. Among the high-profile winners were The White Lotus and Lovecraft Country on the TV side and tick, tick…Boom! and Encanto in the feature film arena.

    The Oscar-nominated original song “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto by Lin-Manuel Miranda won for Best Song Written and/or Recorded for a Film. And tick, tick…Boom! emerged victorious in the category Best Music Supervision for a Film Budgeted Over $25 million.

    Also on the feature front, music supervisor Mandi Collier came up big, having a hand in two wins. Her work on Sylvie’s Love helped it top the category Best Music Supervision for a Film Budgeted Under $10 Million. Furthermore, Collier was part of the team on Zola, which earned distinction in the category Best Music Supervision for a Film Budgeted Under $5 million..

    Playing with the virtual format, Diane Warren and Mitchell Leib presented each other with their respective special awards from the Guild of Music Supervisors. Warren said to Leib, “You’ve touched something like 400 films in your career, worked with some of the greatest directors, producers, filmmakers, and songwriters, and every artist under the sun, and you are loved by your coworkers and staff which is the greatest testament to being a boss.” Then pulling the lens back, we see they are in the same room and share an embrace as the Legacy Award is given to Leib. Mitchell then adds “[The Guild of Music Supervisors] are calling you an icon for a good reason Diane, you’re the definition of the word – widely recognized, well-established as a brand name, acknowledged for distinctive excellence.  13 Oscar nominations alone?  Your first in 1998 was Starships “Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now” from the movie Mannequin.  Nobody remembers Mannequin! And the latest nomination for Best Song, this year’s “Somehow You Do,” which is an appropriate title because Diane – somehow you always do – write your next best song.”  Music supervisor Bonnie Greenberg interrupts the tender moment to try and present Warren with the Icon Award exclaiming she commissioned Warren on her past five Oscar-nominated songs, but Mitchell eventually does present Warren with the Icon Award, the Guild’s top recognition.
     
    Presenters during the evening ceremony included: Javier Bardem, Jessica Chastain, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo, Ryan Tedder, Marlon Wayans, Dave Burd, aka Lil Dicky, Rickey Minor, Rufus Wainwright, Wendy Melvoin & Lisa Coleman, Laura Karpman, Glen Hansard, and Steve Burns.

    Hélène Daubert Joins BETC & POP As VP Create

    Friday, June 13, 2025

    Hélène Daubert, an industry veteran known for her lengthy tenure at production company Division, has joined BETC & POP (Havas group) as VP Create. Her arrival marks a turning point as Daubert will head up an extremely broad production scope—from internal to external, print to postproduction, AI to “beyond advertising” projects. It’s a mission at the crossroads of strategy, execution, and innovation.

    In her new capacity, Daubert additionally joins the Executive Committee of BETC and POP France.

    With more than 20 years at Division, Daubert has contributed to the development and success of that shop (five consecutive Production Company of the Year honors at D&AD Awards, eight Black Pencils, more than 30 awards at Cannes Lions, two Ciclope Grand Prix, etc.), whether internationally, in talent scouting, or through her excellence in production even beyond advertising films.

    Daubert has honed a method that combines rigor, agility, and a passion for craft. Accustomed to working alongside international directors and major brands, she brings with her a genuine culture of curiosity, autonomy and excellence. Her ambition will be to strengthen the bridges between idea, execution, and innovation, so that each project exceeds its initial goal.

    POP CEO Xavier Blairon said, “POP must be much more than just a production structure. It is a playground that must become a catalyst for transformation and, above all, a collective driving force serving all the group’s creative entities. Here, we don’t just produce--we promote creativity, we stretch it, we increase it. I am very happy to see Hélène join us. Her vision, her high standards, and her experience will fuel POP’s transformation and enable us to offer even more accurate... Read More
