Hollywood Music in Media Awards

The Hollywood Music in Media Awards is an award organization honoring original music in all forms visual media including film, TV, video games, trailers, commercial advertisements, documentaries, music videos and special programs. The HMMA was the first to include Outstanding Music Supervision as featured award categories. HMMA nominations and winners have historically been representative of key awards shows announced months later. The annual HMMA main event, held the week before Thanksgiving, features live music performances, celebrity presenters, tributes to music industry icons and awards for composers, songwriters and performers. The 2023 winners were announced on November 15.
The HMMA formerly celebrated emerging, independent artists for creative and innovative contributions in genre categories. The Hollywood Independent Music Awards (HIMA) is now an extension of the HMMA, honoring independent artists, composers, songwriters, record labels, and technical recording professionals around the globe for their creative contributions to independent music.
