Steve Golin, Oscar-winning 'Spotlight' producer and founder of anonymous content, dies at 64

Steve Golin, the Oscar-winning producer behind Spotlight and the founder of management powerhouse Anonymous Content, died Sunday night in Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer, The Hollywood Reporter says, citing his publicists.

Golin was 64.

As one of the industry's most decorated producers, the genial Golin took home two top trophies at the Golden Globes in 2016: for best dramatic film (Alejandro G. Inarritu's The Revenant) and best TV drama (Mr. Robot). In a sign of how prolific he was, The Revenant beat out his eventual Oscar winner Spotlight that year.

The avid pop art collector (his office contained vintage copies of Interview magazine with covers photographed by Andy Warhol) also was Oscar-nominated for best picture for Inarritu's Babel(2006) and The Revenant. Golin won the Palme d'Or for David Lynch's Wild at Heart (1990) and produced other quirkily iconic films like Being John Malkovich (1999), directed by Spike Jonze, and Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).
