The Golden Trailer Awards, the entertainment industry's best and most fun-filled celebration devoted to the year's most outstanding achievements in motion picture and television marketing, announced the winners in the 17th annual competition. "The Jungle Book" won a top four honors at the annual celebration of movie marketing, held Wednesday night in Beverly Hills.

Warner Bros. picked up the most prizes for an individual studio with 11 awards for achievements like best comedy trailer for "Keanu." Disney followed with 10, only two of which were for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," even though the release of the film's trailers and posters became veritable cultural events.

Wayne Brady hosted the lively ceremony, which keeps things light with awards like trashiest poster for "Dirty Grandpa."

The best of show prize went to a spot for the Academy Award-winning film "Spotlight."
