Netflix’s Emilia Pérez and composer Hans Zimmer each received three awards at the 15th annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA), which were held on Wednesday (Nov. 20) at The Avalon in Hollywood, CA. The HMMA honors composers, songwriters and music supervisors for their contributions over the previous year in music for film, TV, video games and more.
Emilia Pérez won for music-themed film, biopic or musical and also song – onscreen performance (film) by Zoe Saldana, who performed “El Mal.” The film’s French composers and songwriters Clément Ducol & Camille also won for score – feature film.
Zimmer received three HMMAs, the most awarded this year to any one individual. He won for score – sci-fi/fantasy film for Dune: Part Two; for his score to the documentary TV series Planet Earth III, which he composed with Jacob Shea and Sara Barone; and for song – TV show/limited series for “Love Will Survive” from The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which he cowrote with Kara Talve, Walter Afanasieff and Charlie Midnight. Barbra Streisand performed the song.
Trending on Billboard
Universal Pictures’ animated film, The Wild Robot, and legendary lyricist Bernie Taupin each received two awards.
The Wild Robot received top accolades in two animated film categories, for its score composed by Kris Bowers and its original song “Kiss the Sky,” performed by Maren Morris, who co-wrote it with Ali Tamposi, Michael Pollack, Delacey, Jordan Johnson, and Stefan Johnson.
Taupin received the HMMA Outstanding Career Achievement Award. In addition, he shared the award for song – documentary film for “Never Too Late” from the Disney+ documentary Elton John: Never Too Late. John and Brandi Carlile both co-wrote and performed the song, and collaborated with additional co-writers Taupin and Andrew Watt.
Diane Warren won this year’s HMMA for song – feature film for “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, which was performed by H.E.R. If the song is nominated for an Oscar, it will be Warren’s 16thnomination for best original song, and her eighth year in a row with a nomination.
Miley Cyrus, Lykke Li, and Andrew Wyatt won for song – independent film for “Beautiful That Way from The Last Showgirl. Cyrus also performed the track.
The HMMA Awards were held nearly a month before the Oscars are set to announce their shortlists of 15 original songs and 20 original scores on Dec. 17. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 17.

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.
Trending on Billboard
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

Bernie Taupin is slated to receive the Outstanding Career Achievement Award during the Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) to be held on Nov. 20 at The Avalon in Hollywood, Calif. The show, now in its 15th year, honors composers, songwriters and music supervisors for their contributions in music for film, TV, video games and more.
Submissions for all HMMA categories are open through Oct. 31. The complete list of final nominations will be announced on Nov. 4.
Taupin, of course, is best-known for his long, hit-studded and award-winning collaboration with Elton John. The pair were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992 and received that organization’s top honor, the Johnny Mercer Award, in 2013. In 2020, they received both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best original song for co-writing “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from the hit biopic Rocketman. Earlier this year, they received the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, as well as an Ivor Novello for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Most recently, Taupin cowrote (with John, Brandi Carlile, and Andrew Watt) the original song “Never Too Late” for the Disney+ documentary Elton John: Never Too Late. The song is performed by John and Carlile.
Trending on Billboard
Remarkably, their only songwriting collaboration to receive a Grammy nomination was the soundtrack to the 1971 teen romance film Friends (no relation to the later TV megahit), which won best original score written for a motion picture or a television special. Go figure.
Taupin has also had some notable successes independent of John. He co-wrote Heart’s “These Dreams” and Starship’s “We Built This City,” both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100. He received a Grammy nod for best country song for cowriting “Mendocino County Line,” which was recorded by Willie Nelson & Lee Ann Womack. His song “A Love That Will Never Grow Old,” sung by Emmylou Harris for the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, won a Golden Globe for best original song. Taupin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the musical excellence award category in 2023. Fittingly, John did the honors in inducing him.
Past HMMA Career Achievement Award recipients include Marc Shaiman, Kenny Loggins, Smokey Robinson, Diane Warren, Earth Wind & Fire, Glen Campbell, Dave Mason, John Debney, and Christopher Young.

Billie Eilish and FINNEAS’ “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie won song – feature film at the 2023 Hollywood Music in Media Awards, which were presented Wednesday night (Nov. 15) at The Avalon in Los Angeles.
The hypnotic “What Was I Made For?” (written by Eilish and her brother FINNEAS) beat out another song from Barbie, the comic “I’m Just Ken” (written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt). Atlantic’s soundtrack album from the film also won the soundtrack award.
The late Robbie Robertson won score – feature film for his score for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Robertson died in August at age 80. This was the 11th and final collaboration between Scorsese and Robertson; the film is dedicated to the Canadian rock music legend.
Women co-wrote five of the six songs that won in various film categories. And women composers took two of the seven film score awards. Laura Karpman won score – sci-fi / fantasy film for The Marvels; Hildur Guđnadóttir won score – horror/thriller film for A Haunting in Venice. In addition, Mica Levi, who identifies as non-binary, won score – independent film for The Zone of Interest.
Angela Leus won music supervision in a film for Trolls Band Together.
The show included performances by nominees OK Go, Diane Warren and Marc Shaiman. Shaiman, a Grammy, Emmy and Tony winner, received an outstanding career achievement award.
Presenters included Taura Stinson, Marie Kingsley, Heather Mcintosh, Julia Michaels, Allyson Newman, Mychael Danna, Mike Stoller and the celebrated team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
The HMMAs are often seen as a bellwether for the Oscars. Past HMMA winners who have gone on to win Oscars include Eilish and Finneas for the title song from No Time to Die; Hans Zimmer for Dune; Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste for Soul; Hildur Guðnadóttir for Joker; Ludwig Göransson for Black Panther; and Alexandre Desplat for The Shape of Water; plus songs from Judas & the Black Messiah, La La Land, A Star Is Born and others.
Unlike the Oscars, which have just one category each for songs and scores, the HMMAs have six categories for film songs and seven for scores.
The most intriguing and inspired HMMA category is song – onscreen performance, which honors the performer who performed the song onscreen in the film. Eve Hewson, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Orén Kinlan and Jack Reynor won for performing “High Life” in Flora and Son.
In the HMMAs’ newest category, best song – sci-fi/fantasy, Olivia Rodrigo and Dan Nigro won for co-writing “Can’t Catch Me Now” from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
For those looking forward to that other award, Oscar shortlists of 15 top contenders for best original song and best original score will be announced on Dec. 21. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 23, 2024. The awards will be presented on March 10, 2024.
For a complete list of winners in all categories, visit this page on the HMMA site.
Here are the nominees in the film categories.

Two songs from Barbie were nominated for song – feature film at the 2023 Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) Awards. Both “I’m Just Ken” (written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt) and “What Was I Made For?” (written by Billie Eilish and Finneas) are competing in that category. The awards will be presented on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m. PT at The Avalon in Hollywood, Calif.
The other nominees for song – feature film are “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot; “High Life” from Flora and Son; “I Am” from Origin; “Road to Freedom” from Rustin, “This” from The Beanie Bubble and “Keep It Movin’” from The Color Purple.
The HMMAs are often seen as a bellwether for the Oscars. Past HMMA winners who have gone on to win Oscars include Eilish and Finneas for No Time to Die; Hans Zimmer for Dune; Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste for Soul; Hildur Guðnadóttir for Joker; Ludwig Göransson for Black Panther and Alexandre Desplat for The Shape of Water; plus songs from Judas & the Black Messiah, La La Land, A Star Is Born and others.
Unlike the Oscars, which have just one category each for songs and scores, the HMMAs have six categories for songs and seven for scores.
Robbie Robertson, who died in August at age 80, is nominated posthumously for score – feature film for his work on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. It is the eleventh and final collaboration between Scorsese and Robertson; the film is dedicated to the Canadian rock music legend.
The other nominees in that category are American Fiction – Laura Karpman; Chevalier – Kris Bowers; Nyad – Desplat; Oppenheimer – Göransson; Rustin – Branford Marsalis; Saltburn – Anthony Willis; and The Killer – Reznor and Ross.
The most intriguing and inspired HMMA category is song – onscreen performance, which honors the performer who performed the song onscreen in the film. Halle Bailey has two nominees – “For the First Time” from The Little Mermaid and “Keep It Movin’” from The Color Purple (which she performed with Phylicia Pearl Mapsi).
The other nominees in this category are Megan Thee Stallion for “Out Alpha the Alpha” from Dicks: The Musical, NSYNC for “Better Place” from Trolls Band Together; Ryan Gosling for “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie, Timothée Chalamet for “A World of Your Own” from Wonka, plus two collabs – Eve Hewson, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Orén Kinlan, Jack Reynor performing “High Life” from Flora and Son and Oil Factory feat. Chlöe, Jekalyn Carr, Loren Lott performing “Praise Nationals Finale” from Praise This.
In the HMMAs newest category, best song – sci-fi/fantasy, Olivia Rodrigo received a nod for co-writing “Can’t Catch Me Now” with Dan Nigro.
This year, the HMMAs will honor Marc Shaiman, a Grammy, Emmy and Tony winner, with an outstanding career achievement award.
Not all of the nominated films have been released yet. The HMMAs allow films to compete if the composers “submit up to 15 minutes of score to picture as it appears in the visual media project.” The HMMAs note that “Several films were only available to see in the context of the scenes provided.”
For those looking forward to that other award, Oscar shortlists of 15 top contenders for best original song and best original will be announced on Dec. 21. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 23, 2024. The awards will be presented on March 10, 2024.
The HMMA presents awards for a wide range of visual media, including film, TV series and videogames. Here are the nominees in the film categories. For a complete list of nominees in all categories, visit the HMMA site.

Composer and songwriter Marc Shaiman will receive the outstanding career achievement award at the 14th annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The ceremony is set for Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 8:00 p.m. at The Avalon in Hollywood. Past recipients of that career honor include Kenny Loggins, Smokey Robinson, Diane Warren, Earth Wind & Fire, Glen […]
Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Drake are among the songwriters battling for song – feature film at the 2022 Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The HMMAs honor composers, songwriters and music supervisors for their work in film, television and video games.
Unlike the Oscars, which have just five nominees for best original song and five for best original score, the HMMAs this year have 32 nomination slots for songs across five categories and 49 slots for scores across eight categories. As a result, nominations here are much easier to come by. Even so, the HHMAs are seen as early indicators of the Oscars. Nominations-round voting for the Oscars extends from Jan. 12-17, 2023. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 24.
Composers receiving multiple nominations include Finneas, Danny Elfman, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross and Simon Franglen. Songwriter nominees include Selena Gomez, Drake, Tanya Tucker, Mel Brooks and Jazmine Sullivan.
Michael Giacchino has an impressive three of the six HHMA nominations for score – sci-fi film. He is nominated for Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Batman and Thor: Love and Thunder, which he composed with Nami Melumad.
Two of the most intriguing categories are ones where the Oscars don’t have an equivalent. The HMMAs have a separate category for song – onscreen performance. (Nominations go to the performers, not the songwriters.) The nominees are Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava’s “Naatu Naatu” from RRR, Austin Butler’s “Baby Let’s Play House” from Elvis, Knights of Swing’s “Cucamonga” from Knights of Swing, Billy Eichner’s “Love Is Not Love” from Bros and Jennifer Lopez’s “On My Way (Marry Me)” from Marry Me.
The Oscars also don’t have an equivalent category for music-themed film, biopic or musical. At the Oscars, these films compete with all other films for best picture. The nominees are Elvis, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio, Spirited, Tár and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. Nominations go the film producer(s) and director(s).
Nor do the Oscars have a category for music documentary/special program. At the Oscars, these films compete with all other docs for best documentary feature. The nominees are Halftime, Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song, Killing Me Softly With His Songs, Louis Armstrong’s Black and Blues, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, Still Working 9 to 5 and The Voice of Dust and Ash. Here too, nominations go the film producer(s) and director(s).
The awards will be presented Wednesday, Nov. 16, at 8 p.m. PT at The Avalon in Hollywood.
Here’s the complete list of nominees:
