The fifth annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards were held Tuesday night at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. "Birdman" composer Antonio Sanchez walked away with top film honors while "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" also brought home awards. "It’s about time drummers get some love — now we have 'Birdman' and 'Whiplash,'" Sanchez said. "This is shaping up to be our year!" The animated film score prize was handed out for the first time ever and is a nice boost for "Dragon 2's" John Powell, who picked up an Oscar nomination for the first film in the series four years ago. Song prizes went to "Lost Stars" from "Begin Again" (with Gregg Alexander performing for the first time in 15 years) and "Everything is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie." Check out the nominees here and a full list of visual media awards below,...

Somehow over the years the Hollywood Music in Media Awards have escaped me. The event's fifth annual slate of nominees were announced today, and it's a pretty standard assortment of names we've been considering at the forefront of this year's Best Original Score Oscar race, from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to Hans Zimmer to the ubiquitous Alexandre Desplat. The nominees were chosen by an "Hmma advisory board and selection committee," and winners will be voted upon by "music-media industry professionals comprised of select members of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, The Television Academy, the AMPAS Music Branch, Naras, performing rights organizations, film music journalists and music executives," according to the press release. You might raise your eyebrow at something like "Interstellar" being on here when it hasn't been screened for these purposes (or much at all, for that matter). The nominations are also based on hearing music via...

A while ago I had a discussion with Mark Adler while I was researching the history of Kayo Hatta's Picture Bride, a beautiful emotional film about the titular institution which involved the shipping of hundreds of girls to Hawaii, where they had to live in unhappy matrimony. The picture was originally scored by Cliff Eidelman whose music was released by Varése Sarabande, but the movie eventually had music by Mark. It took a while, but he managed to put all his thoughts into this recollection and now with his kind permission, I'll post the full story, picking up from the moment he was selected for the project.
Director Wayne Wang recommended me to Miramax for the rescore of Picture Bride. My understanding was they were looking for someone with experience in writing film scores that had successfully integrated Asian musical influences. I had scored two films for Wayne--Eat A Bowl of Tea,...
