The entertainment industry’s “unsung heroes” — as Quentin Tarantino has described Mary Ramos for her significant contribution to his entire filmography — celebrated the outstanding achievements of their peers at the 10th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards on Thursday night at the Wiltern. And who can blame these hardworking but vastly underpaid professionals for tooting their own horns since the Motion Picture Academy refuses to validate their work with an Oscar category? Coincidentally, the winners also helped to shine a light on critically acclaimed films featuring black casts that were snubbed by the Academy, much like music supervisors themselves.
The big news of the night: Women rock! Unlike every other Hollywood award show, the majority of winners — 10 out of 15, in fact — were female. (But then this may be the only guild that has nearly achieved gender parity among members and women outnumber men as board members.) “I met Quentin Tarantino 28 years ago and after that,...

The music supervisors from “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” “Queen & Slim,” “Waves” and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” and singer-songwriter Regina Spektor have won the top film awards from the Guild of Music Supervisors, which handed out its annual awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
The Gms categories for film are separated by budget. “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” won the award for music supervision on a film with a budget of more than $25 million, “Queen & Slim” for a film between $10 million and $25 million, “Waves” for a film between $5 million and $10 million and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” for a film with a budget of less than $5 million.
The award for a song written for film went to Spektor’s “One Little Soldier” from “Bombshell.” The song category is the only Gms category that overlaps with the Academy Awards, but only one of the five nominees,...

In the ten years since the Guild of Music Supervisors was formed, the organization has come a long way. Granted, the job still involves low pay, long hours and little respect, but at least the craft has been validated with Grammy and Emmy categories introduced by the Recording Academy and the Television Academy, respectively. The Gms has its own presence during awards season, as it hosts its own annual awards ceremony on Feb. 6 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. (Quite the upgrade for an event that initially consisted of brunch and four trophies held on Grammy morning.)
In addition to celebrating excellence in sonic storytelling across 16 categories — from film and TV to games and advertising to trailers and emerging media — the organization will honor prolific composer and songwriter Burt Bacharach with the Icon Award. Bob Hunka, a veteran music executive and soundtrack pioneer for Sony Pictures Television who also...
