5 Gaming Trailers Compete at the 14th Annual Golden Trailer Awards

 

The 14th Annual Golden Trailer Awards show is happening on Friday, May 3rd in Beverly Hills, CA, to celebrate the best  preview reels for movies and video games. The Golden Trailer Awards are loads of fun–Rob Schneider and Aisha Tyler are toplining this year.  But they’re also serious business: far surpassing their primary function as marketing tools,  nowadays, trailer premieres–or even for teasers for trailers–create a popular frenzy that often surpasses the excitement about the movies and games themselves.  It’s a powerful testament to the craft and artistry that goes into creating these works.
