Sizzling Summer Blockbusters
Sneak peeks at the biggest films set to hit theaters this summer.
The film - which won Oscars for best picture, screenplay and director - earned the inaugural "best campaign of the year" award at the 37th annual Key Art Awards, which honor the best movie posters, trailers and other marketing efforts.
The Key Art Awards, sponsored by the Hollywood Reporter, were presented Friday during a ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel.
The best-campaign award recognizes the collective creative materials to promote the film as well as the overall marketing strategy developed for its launch.
A panel of experts that included filmmakers David Fincher and Kevin Smith picked "No Country" for the prize. The film also won three other awards including best trailer and best graphics.
"The Simpsons Movie" and "300" were the night's other big winners.
