Watch the best trailers of 2023: Barbie, Oppenheimer, Across the Spider-Verse, and more
Let the Barbie vs Oppenheimer discourse continue.
The much-anticipated summer blockbusters, whose joint July 21 release date has inspired a trend of double feature plans, are among the honorees at the 2023 Golden Trailer Awards. The annual award show highlights the standout trailers of each year, with a jury that includes A-list directors, producers, actors, and executives.
Held at the The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, the June 29 show hosted by actress Missi Pyle bestowed over 100 trophies in categories across film and television.
Oppenheimer was awarded in three different categories, taking home Best Drama, Best Summer 2023 Blockbuster, and Best Sound Editing for its trailer. Meanwhile, Barbie came out on top with Best Teaser for the 2001: A Space Odyssey-inspired preview that featured a monumental Margot Robbie as Mattel's very own monolith. Before the plot of the film had even been unveiled, the teaser paying tribute to Stanley Kubrick stirred up plenty of online fanfare.
Winning for Best Action Trailer was John Wick: Chapter 4, the latest entry in the Keanu Reeves' action franchise. The famed fictional hitman may yet return, but the trailer still emulates a certain sense of finality.
Other winners include Cocaine Bear for Best Comedy Trailer and Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie in the documentary category.
