Okay, firstly, let me start by stating I am new to the editing platform of Wikipedia. I appreciate those who comment to obtain truth and responsibility for information regarding the subject. While reading the rules and procedures, I ended up on this talk page. Hopefully, with this submission, I will be able to comprehend the scope of deletion and possibly have valuable consideration for non-deletion. Before I continue, I would like to inform those who read and reply that again, I am looking for help with these Wiki articles, and anything that could lead to insightful editing or encompasses significant change to the subject matter would be highly appreciative at this time. I was involved with Hollywood Music in Media Awards I 2009 as a volunteer during the beginning creation of the award show. As being offered to be a paid CoI by Brent Harvey found with Hmmaward and on behalf of the Hollywood Music in Media organization, I would like to start a discussion. Firstly, I will not accept payment on behalf of this or any other article and wish to volunteer my time as any wiki user does.  Limited in the technological understanding of the wiki platform, this article has come to my attention over the years. I will begin the process of trying to gather the information needed to meet the standard guidelines and, I request any help from peer editors in which they can open the dialog between us to keep the award show from becoming deleted. At this time, information regarding its creation and the problematic areas are welcomed within the review to show cohesive response to the building of accurate, factual, and correspondent knowledge about the Hmmawards organization. Working in the music industry and frequently involved in the news from past events from Hmmawards. This award show article requests edits to change the layout in which information will present and added links from award winners, media sources, and relevant music awards news. The entertainment industry is a vast network of links in which the Hmmawards have been prevalent since 2009. This July, we will decide on the platform which the event will annually continue amidst the global pandemic. Studios and networks want to be involved with the HMMA's. As well as industry professionals, students, composers, and visual media mediums worldwide. I would like to purpose an administrator to elect certain editing restrictions to help the legitimacy in the information added until the wiki article is updated and reviewed. We appeal at this time for non-deletion and I am grateful of the work from previous contributions and look forward to finding some compromise in this community to include Hmmawards which has become bellwether to those in the industry looking for representation such as our music supervisors which have become equally more relevant in the last decade since Hmmawards founded.

Multiple sources have been and will continue to write about this article from which regard the HMMA and its participants, notably honors, nominees, award winners, and industry members significant enough to cover during the growth of the HMMA. Significant coverage should be about the awards themselves are seen in such sources given to the respects to the new types of categories HMMA was recognizing and building in the industry since the beginning history. We see this impact with these awards for the best gaming score and music supervision at the start. In respecting neutrality we will assume that judgment of the above sources have not provided the described the awards themselves, what they mean for the industry, what the bona fides of the body are, but hopefully, another analysis can continue and notice that the different sources above include the representation of notable regards in the annual HMMA event which holds a body of industry community members participating in the structuring of HMMA's and awards shows as a whole.

In presenting the documentary award to Netflix’s “Quincy,” presenter Robert Kraft at one point began volunteering stage directions from the podium only to be interrupted by random interjections from “the voice of God.” But the audience, partaking of dinner and drinks during the show, was loose enough to laugh off the mishaps.", "The HMMAs honor internationally produced music in film, TV, video games, commercials and trailers released between Oct. 1 of the prior year and Dec. 31 of the current year."

Award categories include dramatic features, sci-fi/ fantasies, documentaries and animation among others."

"Best original score and best original song are two of the few categories presented at the Oscars that aren't first presented at many earlier awards shows. The categories are represented at the Critics' Choice and Golden Globe events, but do not have an event of their own in the way that many others do via corresponding guilds and societies. So the HMM Awards are perhaps the biggest showcase for Oscar-contending songs that we'll have until those others come along next month." Jrocksgibson (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

HISTORY The Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) conceived, specifically, to acknowledge and applaud the creative works of songwriters, composers, lyricists, producers, and performers in all forms of visual media. The inclusion of independent music categories (music genre) provides a unique opportunity for emerging artists from around the globe to achieve elevated recognition and access to an event celebrating the most successful music industry professionals. Every HMMA event includes four distinctive components: Red carpet (5:30pm - 8pm), VIP dinner banquet (6pm-8pm), award show (8pm - 10pm) and afterparty (10pm - 1am) The Hollywood Music In Media Awards first held Thursday, November 19, 2009, at The Highlands Hollywood nightclub located in the Hollywood & Highland Center. The inaugural event followed by a three-day music industry convention called MIMI CON (Music In Media Interactive Conference) at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, now operating as the Loews Hollywood Hotel. As part of the conference, HMMA's first Outstanding Career Achievement Award presented to Dave Mason. Mason performed his classic song "We Just Disagree" with Jeff "Skunk Baxter accompanying on guitar to the delight of the award banquet attendees. The inaugural HMMA show and the corresponding conference were considered by many as an innovative, refreshing, and commercial success. 2009 was the only year a three-day conference followed the HMMA's main event. The HMMA remained at The Highlands Hollywood four consecutive years (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012). Each event sold out the venue to capacity. In 2013, to accommodate the swell of attendance and expand show production, the HMMA moved to The Fonda Theater. HMMA remained there for another three years (2014, 2015, and 2016). As growth and production value dictated, in 2017, the HMMA moved to a new venue, The Avalon Hollywood. This venue proved more suitable for its level of technical production requirements and seating availability. The HMMA produced its ceremony at the Avalon since (2018, 2019 10th anniversary, and is currently scheduled for November 18, 2020. A ticketed event may not take place this year due to the current global health crisis COVID-19. The HMMA producers prepare to have a virtual event if deemed necessary. The HMMA produces involved symposiums, (Two recent examples include the 2018 MUSIC CREATOR SYMPOSIUM and 2019 SONGWRITING SYMPOSIUM) in which lead before the hosted awards show. These panels and seminars designed to add extra value for music artists, industry professionals, and nominees in conjoined to attending the main event. Many music artists participating in the main event will fly to Los Angeles throughout the United States, but many travel from other countries.

CATEGORIES HMMA categories evolve and expand over time. Music in Visual Media categories define composition type (song or score) and specific associated media (film, video game, TV, commercial, trailer, etc.) Mainstream award shows for visual mediums (film & TV) typically include a single Best Song and Best Score category. The HMMA design includes a multitude of methods recognizing compositions and composers in specific genres and media. An example is HMMA’s original film score options. Inaugural HMMA had Best Original Score for Film as the category. Over time, this category (theatrical releases) expands to sub-genres. Best Original Score - Feature Film, Best Original Score - Animated Film, Best Original Score - SciFi/Fantasy Film, Best Original Score - Horror Film, Best Original Score - Documentary and Best Original Score - Independent Film. Michael Abels announced during his acceptance speech for US film score, “Horror film music is a real thing!” Music Supervision introduced as award category in 2009, a first for any award show. HMMA considers music supervision as a creative effort, equally vital to production as music. From inception, HMMA examines video game music as significant as film and TV music. HMMA accepts submissions from around the globe. Foreign Language sub-categories exist, although not explicitly listed in the submittable categories. HMMA determines placement in foreign language sub-categories during review and evaluation. A film with a language other than English (subtitled or not) submitted for Original Score - Independent Film, deemed meritorious for a nomination, is placed in Original Score - Independent Film (Foreign Language) Music Genre categories provide unique opportunities for emerging artists not signed to a major record label. Genre categories exist for independent audio recordings unassociated with a visual medium. These genre nominees attend the main event with the most prominent, most notable professionals in the entertainment business. Many independent artists credit the HMMA as a significant achievement in their career.
