Key Art nods recognize 'Simpsons'

HOLLYWOOD, May 17 (UPI) -- The 37th annual Hollywood Reporter Movie Marketing Key Art Awards will include seven nominations for "The Simpsons Movie," event officials say.

Key Art Awards Advisory Board Chairman Bob Israel said "Simpsons" received the most nominations of any film at the event, while BLT & Associates and its 18 nominations made it the year's top agency, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Israel said the annual awards show honors the best marketing done for recent theatrical and home entertainment motion picture products. The quality of the such marketing efforts gets better and better every year, he said.

The Reporter said top nominees for the June 13 event, which now also includes a home entertainment/new-media category, were the films "30 Days of Night," "Superbad," "Transformers," "300" and "No Country for Old Men."
