Twenty years ago, at the inaugural Leo Awards, Daryl Bennett won the first ever Leo Award for Best Musical Score in a Feature Length Drama when son Eli was nine years old. Two decades later, Daryl’s son Eli accepted the Leo Award for that very same category.

The Leo Awards Celebration Two and Gala Awards (the second and third night of three nights) will be held June 2 & 3 at the Hyatt Regency. The younger Bennett is returning for his second year as Leo Awards music director, and will be leading Eli Bennett & The Leo Awards Band on both nights. More on the Leo Awards here
