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, with general music prizes on the next page.
