Emilia Pérez leads the 2024 Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominations with five nods. The HMMA honors composers, songwriters and music supervisors for their contributions over the previous year in music for film, TV, video games and more.

The 15th annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards will be presented Nov. 20 at The Avalon in Hollywood. That’s nearly a month before the Oscars announce their shortlists of 15 original songs and 20 original scores on Dec. 17. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 17. The annual HMMA nominations are our real first peek inside what may be vying for music awards at other awards shows in coming weeks.

Two songs from Emilia Pérez (“El Mal” and “Mi Camino”) are nominated for song – feature film. That boldly imaginative French film is this year’s only film with two song nominees. The film is also nominated for score – feature film. Clément Ducol and Camille, a French couple, are nominated in both categories. They co-wrote one of their nominated songs, “El Mal,” with Jacques Audiard, the director of Emilia Pérez.

Blitz, Challengers and The Six Triple Eight were also nominated in both the top song and top score categories. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were nominated for their score for the boxoffice hit Challengers. They were also nominated for co-writing “Compress/Repress” with Luca Guadagnino, the director of Challengers.

A third of this year’s nominated songs was co-written by the director of the film that contained the song. “Winter Coat” from Blitz was co-written by that film’s director, Steve McQueen, along with Nicholas Britell and Taura Stinson. Hans Zimmer was nominated for scoring the film.

Perennial Oscar hopeful Diane Warren is nominated for song – feature film for writing “”The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight. Aaron Zigman is nominated for scoring the film.

The HMMAs have five song categories and seven score categories. Their main song category lists nine nominees. Their main score category lists eight nominees.

One of the HMMA’s most compelling categories (which the Oscars don’t present) is song – onscreen performance. This year’s nominees are Cynthia Erivo for singing “Defying Gravity” in the film adaptation of the Broadway smash Wicked; Nicholas Galitzine and Anne-Marie for singing “The Idea of You” in the rom-com of the same name; Saoirse Ronan for singing “Winter Coat” in Blitz; Timothée Chalamet for singing “Blowin’ in the Wind” in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown; and Zoe Saldana for singing “El Mal” in Emilia Pérez.

As previously announced, legendary lyricist Bernie Taupin will receive the Outstanding Career Achievement Award. Taupin is also nominated for co-writing “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late, which is vying for song – documentary film. He cowrote the song with John, Brandi Carlile and Andrew Watt.

Several of the nominated songs will be performed live during the HMMA awards ceremonies on Nov. 20. Tickets are available now at: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/2024hmmawards/1419072
