Greta Gerwig’s Barbie won big at the 14th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards on Sunday, with the film taking home the awards for best music supervision for a film budgeted over $25 million, and best song written and/or recorded for a film.
George Drakoulias took home both of those words, the latter being awarded for “What Was I Made For?” performed by Billie Eilish and written by Eilish and Finneas O’Connell. The siblings took the stage to accept the award.
Other winners included Frankie Pine, who took home two awards for her work on Daisy Jones & The Six, and Alex Hackford, who also won two statues for his work on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 video game.
Killers of the Flower Moon composer Robbie Robertson posthumously received the Icon Award, and he was given a tribute performance of his music by Margo Price, Rocco DeLuca and Johnny Sheppard. Allan Mason was awarded the Legacy Award this year.
Dan Wilson performed his song “It Never Went Away,” from the Netflix film American Symphony, that he co-wrote with Jon Batiste, and India Carney performed “I Found You” from the Showtime series The L Word: Generation Q. D4vd performed the song “Romantic Homicide.”
Nia Vardalos, Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, Mark Ronson, Luca Guadagnino, Tyrese Gibson, Crystal Methyd, Freddy Scott, Stephanie Savage, PJ Morton, Ryan Lott (of Son Lux) and Volker Bertelmann were among the presenters of the evening.
