Logo for Deadline Hollywood

Box office juggernauts Wicked and Deadpool & Wolverine, lead the nominees for the 25th Golden Trailer Awards, which were revealed today. The Universal musical scored 15 noms to the Disney/Marvel sequel’s 13. Warners’ Sinners snagged nine noms, one more than Neon’s The Monkey.

Disney dominated with a staggering 109 noms, 40 more than runner-up Warner Bros Discovery. Netflix is next with 59. See the full list of nominees below.

HBO’s hit postapocalyptic drama The Last of Us tops TV with nine noms.

Honoring marketing executives and companies that create movie trailers, commercials and posters around the world, the Golden Trailer Awards ceremony is set for Thursday, May 29, at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

“The Golden Trailer Awards have grown from humble beginnings into one of the biggest, wildest, and unconventional nights in entertainment as we celebrate the show behind the show — the innovation, creativity and verve that produce the very best in entertainment marketing,” said Evelyn Brady, executive director of the GTAs. “With consumers having more choices than ever before, marketers need material that cuts through the clutter, demands attention and gets people to leave the house.”

The Golden Trailers launches new categories covering TV spots for TV/streaming series this year.

The GTAs recognize the trailers, posters and innovative, experiential concepts as well as the ideas which drive the movie industry. Here are the nominees for the 25th anniversary Golden Trailer Awards:
