HMMA Award Nominees Include Notable Genre Film & TV Scores
The Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) has announced the nominees for music in film, TV, video games, commercials, and trailers. The HMMA nominations have historically been representative of the nominees of other key awards shows that occur months later. With over 500 submissions this year, HMMA nominees are chosen in specific genres of music for film, TV and video game including dramatic feature, sci-fi/ fantasy, documentary and animation. The 2018 Hollywood Music in Media Awards will be held at The Avalon Hollywood, 1735 Vine Street on Wednesday, November 14, 2018. A portion of proceeds benefit Education Through Music – Los Angeles (ETMLA).
The HMMA is the only award that specifically recognizes music in all visual media. The HMMA nominations are selected by an advisory board and selection committee which includes journalists, music executives, music-media industry professionals comprised of select members of the Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL), The Television Academy, the AMPAS Music Branch, NARAS and performing rights organizations.
