And the Winner of the Best Movie Trailer Is ... 'Gravity'

Hey, this is Hollywood, where even the trailers of movies get recognized.

By Penny Arévalo

Just when you thought award season was over (is it ever really over ?) ... Hey, this is Hollywood, where even the trailers of movies get recognized. 

In Beverly Hills Friday night, the 15th Annual Golden Trailer Awards were handed out. And the Best of Show Prize winner is ... Warner Bros. for a trailer for Gravity called "Detached," which was deemed better than the official film trailer. 

Of course, the unabridged version  is no Schmoe either, winning Best Directing, Best Cinematography, Film Editing, Music, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects Oscars this year. 

While the Golden Trailer Awards bestows trophies in 75 different categories (partial list below), only 17 were handed out live before a sold out crowd at the Saban Theater. You can view a selection of the winning trailers by visiting here
