The 2024 Hollywood Music in Media Awards were handed out on Wednesday night, Nov. 20, during a ceremony that took place at The Avalon in Hollywood. Winners were decided by the Hollywood Music in Media Academy, which consists of journalists, filmmakers, performing artists, publicists, and other industry professionals.
The big winner was Jacques Audiard‘s Netflix musical “Emilia Pérez,” which claimed Best Music-Themed Film, Biopic, or Musical, where it beat other formidable awards contenders like “A Complete Unknown” and “Wicked.” The film’s star Zoe Saldaña also won Best Song (Onscreen Performance) for “El Mal,” defeating Timothee Chalamet playing Bob Dylan‘s “Blowin’ in the Wind” in “A Complete Unknown” and Cynthia Erivo belting out “Defying Gravity” in “Wicked.” Lastly, the film won Best Score (Feature Film) for Clément Ducol and Camille, bringing its total to three, making it the most awarded film of the year.
“The Wild Robot” won two awards, one for Maren Morris‘s original song “Kiss the Sky” and the other for Kris Bowers‘ score. “Deadpool and Wolverine” also doubled up with victories for Best Music Supervision (Film) and Best Soundtrack Album. Other noteworthy champs include songwriting legend Diane Warren, who took the top prize, Best Song (Feature Film), for “The Journey” from “The Six Triple Eight.” Composer Hans Zimmer also won big, prevailing for “Dune: Part Two,” the nature series “Planet Earth III,” and the song “Love Will Survive” from the limited series “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” Miley Cyrus was awarded for her song “Beautiful That Way” from “The Last Showgirl.” Olivia Rodrigo was honored for her “Guts World Tour.”
