Rihanna, Billy Eichner, ‘Elvis,’ ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ top Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) winners
The Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) awards were held last night, honoring songs, scores and soundtracks across film, television, video games and more, where Rihanna, Billy Eichner, Elvis and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio were the night’s big winners.
Rihannas’ “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was named Best Song from a Feature Film, besting the likes of Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga while Billy Eichner’s performance of the song “Love Is Not Love” from his movie Bros, which he co-wrote with Marc Shaiman, won Best Onscreen Performance. Last year’s winner here were “No Time to Die” from No Time to Die, which went on to win the Oscar for Original Song and Emilia Jones’s performance of “Both Sides Now” from Best Picture winner CODA.
Baz Luhrmann’s rollicking Elvis Presley biopic Elvis starring Austin Butler walked away with two awards: Best Soundtrack and Best Music Supervision, but lost Best Music-Themed Film, Biopic or Musical to Todd Field’s TÁR, starring Cate Blanchett as a fictional philharmonic composer.
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio took both animated categories: Song for “Ciao Papa” and Score for an Animated Film for Alexandre Desplat.
Other major song winners included perennial Oscar nominee Diane Warren plus Brandi Carlile and Weird Al Yankovic.
Terence Blanchard was the Feature Film Score winner for The Woman King, the award Nicholas Britell won last year for Don’t Look Up, and genre score winners included Danny Elfman for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (SciFi), Simon Franglen for Avatar: The Way of Water (Fantasy), Micheal Abels for Nope (Horror) and Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch for Living (Independent).
The Hollywood Music In Media Academy was created as a statutory voting body of entertainment professionals and journalists to assist in the selection of winners from designated nomination categories within the Hollywood Music In Media Awards. The HMMA also includes an Advisory Board consisting of professionals from various facets of entertainment including, but not limited to, Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL), the Television Academy, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), The Recording Academy (NARAS), Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF), performing rights organizations, journalists and music executives.
