Two beach cities cameramen were honored with Emmy Awards this year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Dan “The Cameraman” Marinelli, of Hermosa Beach, received his third Emmy for his work at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi Russia. Marinelli’s previous two Emmys were in 2006 for Sunday Night Football and in 2008 for the Summer Olympics in Beijing. When he’s not traveling Marinelli is active in a variety of Hermosa community events.
David Plakos, of Redondo Beach, received his 10th Emmy for his work on last year’s Oscars television special. His previous Emmys have been for work on the Grammys, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction concert, music specials for Frank Sinatra, Cher, Elton John, Sting and Britney Spears. Plakos volunteers at the Cancer Support Community — Redondo Beach, where his wife Theresa is the outreach manager.
