The International Cinematographers Guild revealed nominees for its Maxwell Weinberg Award for Television Publicity Campaign on Tuesday among a group of categories for the 63rd ICG Publicists Guild Awards.
Up for the guild’s top TV honor include the teams behind Netflix’s Stranger Things 5 and Nobody Wants This, HBO Max’s The Pitt, CBS’ soap Beyond the Gates, Disney+’s Andor and Hulu’s The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
The annual awards, which celebrate IATSE Local 600 publicists, unit still photographers, outstanding publicity campaigns for TV and film and the year’s best entertainment journalists, also today revealed nominees for the Les Mason Award for Career Achievement in Publicity and Publicist of the Year categories, the International Media Award and the U.S.-based Press Award, and for both motion picture and TV Excellence in Unit Still Photography awards.
Winners will be revealed during a ceremony March 13 at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. As per usual, that’s the Friday before the Academy Awards.

The guild will announce its motion picture campaign noms on January 14.
Check out the full list of nominees so far below.
At the 62nd ICG Publicists Awards in February, the publicity teams behind Universal’s Wicked and Disney+’s Agatha All Along took respective top film and TV prizes.
Last week, the ICG Publicists said that Jimmy Kimmel will receive its President’s Award during the 2026 ceremony. That’s a rare honor presented only on occasion of “extraordinary circumstances.” The longtime ABC late-night host, who just signed a one-year contract extension on Monday, will be its first recipient since 2017 and just the fifth this century.
More honorary awards recipients are still to be announced.
