Chances are Seth MacFarlane’s hosting gig will remain the biggest win for “Ted” at February’s Oscar ceremony, but the raunchy teddy-bear comedy had its own taste of awards glory at the Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards, which recognize the industry’s top achievements in movie marketing, “Ted” won the night’s top award, for best overall campaign. Top of the trailer heap, meanwhile, was “Shame,” which took gold in the audio-visual category for its striking red-band “Subway” trailer. Other films recognized included “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” “Prometheus” (though not for Most Over-Marketed Film of the Year, surprisingly enough) and the upcoming “Man of Steel.” [THR]
