“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.”
