Honors were given out in more than 30 categories at Wednesday’s 12th annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards, with singer-songwriters like Billie Eilish, H.E.R., Adam Levine and Rufus Wainwright being celebrated in the live webcast as well as composers including Hans Zimmer, Rachel Portman, Alberto Iglesias and Nicholas Britell.
The HMMAs reward songwriters, composers and even performers in fields that include not just film and TV work but everything from video games to commercials to theme park music.
Film nominations are given in multiple genres, which allows for a series of short lists that members of the Academy’s music branch may end up studying as they vote for the Oscars’ much, much shorter lists.
New categories were introduced this year, most notably outstanding on-screen performance in a film, which extends the awards not just to writers and composers but into the realm of actors and on-screen performers. That was one of two awards picked up by the Apple Plus film “Coda,” and went to Amelia Jones as Ruby singing and signing Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now in the film. “Coda” also won outstanding song for an independent film for “Beyond The Shore.”
