HBO/Max’s The Last of Us and Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 were among the winners at the 10th annual Location Managers Guild International (LMGI) Awards. The Guild’s Guild’s 20th anniversary was also celebrated Saturday evening at the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica.
The Last of Us, which used Canadian locations and VFX to create its dystopian world; and John Wick 4, filmed in cities including Berlin, Paris and Tokyo, collected awards for outstanding locations in a contemporary series and movie, respectively. On the strength of its Last of Us locations, The Alberta Film Commissions/Calgary Economic Development won the trophy for outstanding film commission.
Paramount’s 1923 and Netflix’s All Quiet On The Western Front topped the categories for locations in a period series and film, respectively. HBO/Max’s The White Lotus earned a trophy in the category for a serial program, anthology or limited series.
During the ceremony, Steven Spielberg — who accepted virtually — was recognized with the Guild’s Eva Monley Award, which is given to an individual who has made an extraordinary contribution to the art and craft of filmmaking through their commitment to the use of real locations.
Location scout and LMGI founding member Beth Tate (Twilight, Beverly Hills 90210) received the Guild’s Trailblazer Award; veteran location manager Dow Griffith (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Jumanji, Proof of Life) accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award; and The Creative Coalition was honored with the LMGI Humanitarian Award.
