The recently formed Guild of Music Supervisors held its first awards ceremony at a brunch preceding the Grammys on Sunday.

The "hit" music supervisors at this year's award ceremony were as follows: the film trophy went to Julianne Jordan (Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, Valentine's Day, Red), TV honors were bestowed upon Gary Calamar (True Blood, Dexter, House), the video games award went to Scott McDaniel (Tony Hawk: Shred) and the movies of the week/film made for TV prize was presented to Evelyn Klean (Temple Grandin, The Pacific, Special Relationship, You Don't Know Jack).

The guild, conceived a little more than three years ago, has about 100 to 150 members. "Anybody can call themselves a music supervisor," says Jonathan McHugh, a music supervisor, Island Def Jam executive and film producer, "but this organization brings a level of integrity, telling studios this is the pool of (accredited) supervisors. Benefits will come down the road."

Maureen Crowe, the Guild's president, timed the inaugural awards presentation to the Grammys as a thank you to the Recording Academy, which was the first organization "to realize the impact that music supervisors have in music and to acknowledge" their support. The organization with have its first summit meeting  in June.

The performer’s super-short teasers for her new video “Hold It Against Me,” seem to be building some buzz and getting her name circulated again. According to YouTube, the teasers have been getting good traffic despite their short length and are building interest for the video’s release on Thursday.

For instance, a 5-second teaser (embedded below) released on February 4 has gotten close to 2.5 million hits on YouTube so far, despite offering no music and little coherency. Meanwhile, the 11 clips she’s released since then — all of similar length — have gotten a total of 10 million views, according to YouTube Trends.

The video tease came after Spears released the audio of “Hold It Against Me” back in January, a clip that has so far gotten 5 million views. Spears’s consistent release of new material also helped maintain her position as the top Twitter Trend topic last week.
