Sinners is the leading contender for 16th annual Guild of Music Supervisors (GMS) Awards. The smash Ryan Coogler film received a total of three nominations recognizing Niki Sherrod’s music supervision and two original songs – “I Lied to You” and “Last Time (I Seen the Sun).”

The GMS Awards honor outstanding achievements in the craft of music supervision in film, television, documentaries, advertising, trailers and video games. The winners will be announced at their annual awards gala at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, Feb. 28 – which is during the final-round voting period for the Oscars (which extends from Feb. 26 to March 5). Both of the aforementioned Sinners songs are on the Oscar shortlist for best original song, as is another GMS nominee, “Dear Me” from Diane Warren: Relentless. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 22.

Surprisingly, “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters, which appears to be the front-runner to win the Oscar for best original song, was not nominated for a GMS Award for best song written and/or recorded for a film. The other three songs that were nominated in that GMS category (in addition to the three already named) are”It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be” from Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy; “Just Keep Watching” from F1 and  “My Baby (Got Nothing at All)” from Materialists.

“In a year that was challenging for our city and our industry, we are excited to see an abundance of great work from the music supervision community, Guild president Lindsay Wolfington and vp Heather Guibert said in a statement.

The Icon and Legacy Award recipients will be announced later. Last year’s Icon Award recipient was Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz. Last year’s Legacy Award honoree was music supervisor Bonnie Greenberg. Last year’s Spotlight Performance was by Role Model, who went on to have a breakthrough hit with “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.”
