Label of the Year

PARAMOUNT

The studio that ruled the global cinema box office in 2022 with Top Gun: Maverick ($1.4bn and counting...) has also been a home cinema high-flyer. Not only did Paramount double-down on the Tom Cruise hit with a reference-grade disc release (see opposite), its 4K Blu-ray outings for the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and The Lost City have consistently wowed with their Dolby Vision-enhanced visuals and Atmos soundmixes.

The Hollywood heavyweight has also demonstrated an impressive commitment to giving a varied range of back-catalogue titles a 4K upgrade, with choice discs including The Godfather Trilogy, The Untouchables, and Event Horizon. And refreshingly, Paramount isn't prioritising its own SVOD service over physical media. Instead, it's used Paramount+ as a way of facilitating costly projects like the 4K do-over of the Director's Cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (now available on disc) and given its flagship sci-fi series Halo a fully-loaded Ultra HD Blu-ray release.

A runner-up in this category last year, the major label now deservedly bags the top prize
