With the advent of the internet, the importance of a good movie trailer has become more and more obvious.
Dating back to 1999’s Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, movie trailers are no longer just the annoying ad you see on the beginning of a theatrical screening, but now an event unto themselves, with trailers getting teasers and press releases.

Celebrating the art of those couple of minutes of highlight reel (as well as posters and other sorts of film promotion) is the Golden Trailer Awards, which started in 2000 and has been awarded to hype-magnets like The Matrix, Saw, and The Dark Knight over the years.
This year’s nominees have been named, with Deadpool, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Mad Max: Fury Road topping the list. Virtually everything our fans love — from Star Wars to The Walking Dead — also made at least an appearance.
