The publicity campaigns for “Sinners” and “The Pitt” took top honors at the 63rd annual International Cinematographers Guild Publicists Awards luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Friday. The ceremony honors individual publicists and unit still photographers who further publicity campaigns for film and TV as well as entertainment journalists. Variety’s senior entertainment reporter Angelique Jackson and senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay earned nominations from ICG in the Press Award category. Cynthia Swartz received the Bob Yeager Award for Community Service and Pamela Golum was presented with the Henri Bollinger Award for Special Merit. Popular on Variety Jimmy Kimmel was given the President’s Award. The Award is presented only on occasion of extraordinary circumstances, and honored Kimmel’s resilience in face of censorship. During his speech, Kimmel joked, “When they told me I will be getting the president’s award, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s great. I thought he hated me.’” “He called me and tried to force me off the air. Then I found out the President was John,” Kimmel said referring to the Guild’s president. Kimmel went on to thank the publicists and the guild. He said, “I especially want to thank you for your support over the last year, I heard from many of you, personally, I heard from many of your clients over my brief vacation in September, and I will never forget it. I do want to thank you, and I want to dedicate this to those of you who work so hard to shine a light on everyone other than yourselves.” Filmmakers and actors Noah Wyle (“The Pitt”) and Kate Hudson (“Song Sung Blue”) were given the Television Showperson of the Year and Motion Picture Showperson of the Year awards, respectively.
