- "One Battle After Another" (Warner Bros.) won Outstanding Locations in a Contemporary Feature Film for shooting across California's Humboldt County, Sacramento, Stockton, Eureka, Arcata, San Diego, and El Paso, Texas.
- "Marty Supreme" (A24) took Outstanding Locations in a Period Feature Film for production across New York City, the Hudson Valley, New Jersey, and Tokyo.
- "Pluribus" (Apple TV+) won Outstanding Locations in a Contemporary TV Series, having filmed in Albuquerque, Montana, Nevada, and Spain.
- "Fallout" Season 2 (Amazon Prime Video) claimed Outstanding Locations in a Period TV Series for work across California's Dumont Dunes, Mojave Desert, Antelope Valley, and Santa Clarita.
- "Black Rabbit" (Netflix) won Outstanding Locations in a TV Anthology, Movie or Limited Series, shot around NYC including Brooklyn and Manhattan.
- Vince Gilligan, the four-time Emmy-winning director and writer, received the Eva Monley Award for his career-long dedication to location storytelling and his work on "Pluribus."
- Mike Fantasia, location manager on "Top Gun: Maverick," "Killers of the Flower Moon," and "Spider-Man: Homecoming," received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Why it matters: These awards specifically recognize location managers and the local film commissions that enable productions, not directors or stars — and the geographic spread across seven countries and remote regions shows how 2026's prestige productions increasingly depend on regional film commissions like Humboldt-Del Norte, which earned its own Outstanding Film Commission honor for hosting "One Battle After Another."
