“It’s a great feeling! I started working for Access Hollywood eight years ago as a researcher and to get to this point, where I’m nominated by the publicists two years in a row is an honor beyond belief,” Mantz said. “I love movies. I love watching them. I love writing about them. I love talking about them. For the publicists’ guild to recognize that is the biggest form of flattery in the business.”
Others nominated for the ICG award include The Hollywood Reporter’s Elizabeth Guider and USA Today’s Anthony Breznican and Claudia Puig.
