Variety co-president and publisher Dea Lawrence added that the awards continue to provide “a leading platform to celebrate the artisans who help bring films to life.”

With below-the-line craftspeople from some of this year’s most high-profile releases, Dune: Part Three, The Odyssey, Michael, among them, now receiving dedicated recognition, the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards continues to carve out space for the technical work often overshadowed by the films’ lead performances.
