Client Projects Win Top Accolades in the 2021 Award Season

With the Academy Awards behind us, it’s a wrap on the 2021 award season. Through it all, client projects won several awards and set many firsts. For his performance in “Sound of Metal,” Riz Ahmed became the first Muslim man nominated for a Best Actor award at the Oscars. And Chloé Zhao won Best Director at both The Golden Globes and The Academy Awards, making her the first woman of color and second woman ever to win those awards.

Congratulations to all of our client project award winners!
