The Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) is an award organization honoring original music (Song and Score) in all forms visual media including film, TV, video games, trailers, commercial advertisements, documentaries, music videos and special programs. The HMMA was the first to include Outstanding Music Supervision as featured award categories. HMMA nominations and winners have historically been representative of key awards shows announced months later. The annual HMMA main event, held the week before Thanksgiving, features live music performances, celebrity presenters, tributes to music industry icons and awards for composers, songwriters and performers.[1] The 2023 winners were announced on November 15th.[2]
The HMMA formerly celebrated emerging, independent artists for creative and innovative contributions in genre categories. The Hollywood Independent Music Awards (HIMA) is now an extension of the HMMA, honoring independent artists, composers, songwriters, record labels, and technical recording professionals around the globe for their creative contributions to independent music.[3][4]

HOLLYWOOD, CA.- August 22nd, 2021, Mariachi USA, the premier mariachi music festival in the world and only annual Latino-themed event at the Hollywood Bowl with the top Mariachi bands from the USA and Mexico, traditional folkloric dance and the legendary fireworks finale display that have made the event a cultural icon in the USA.
Founded in 1990 by Rodri J. Rodriguez of Rodri Entertainment, MARIACHI USA has established itself as the leading mariachi music festival in the United States. The festival was envisioned as a platform for the artistic expression of mariachi music and a celebration of its rich musical traditions. Taking place at the iconic Hollywood Bowl every year, the event never fails to captivate audiences of all ages.
MARIACHI USA will celebrate the rich tradition in which so many Mexicans and Mexican-Americans take pride, and which has secured its place as one of the most beloved music genres in world music. In addition to the festival, Ms. Rodriguez also established the MARIACHI USA Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing mariachi music education to students in Los Angeles.
MARIACHI USA was created in 1990 and has become the premier mariachi music festival in the United States. Founded and created by Rodri J. Rodriguez, of Rodri Entertainment, the festival was created to give mariachi music a forum for artistic expression and a way to celebrate the rich musical traditions that so many have come to enjoy.
Videogame music never ceases to amaze me. Whether I'm listening to Nero's battle theme, Devil Trigger, from Devil May Cry 5 or immersing myself in the beautiful Peruvian-inspired soundscape of Ultros, the creativity and breadth on offer is astounding and something to celebrate. Well, at least that's what I thought. It turns out that Nobuo Uematsu, the veteran Final Fantasy composer, thinks we can do better and that Hollywood may be holding us back.
In an extended interview with NewsPicks (translated by Automaton) Uematsu explains why he thinks the current landscape of game music can do better. "I think people need to have more freedom," he suggests, arguing that the issue may be because directors and producers are "satisfied with movie soundtrack-like music in games." Uematsu even went as far as to say that if this Hollywood style carries on, then "game music cannot develop further."
But apparently, it can get better: "Game music will become more interesting if composers consider 'what is something only I can do?' and use their own knowledge and experience to be truly creative," Uematsu said.
That being said, it looks like Uematsu won't be working on too many more creative projects, as his last full soundtrack was for Fantasian in 2021. Previously, Uematsu said that he doesn't have "the physical or mental strength" to compose entire game soundtracks anymore: "I think I'd rather use the time I have left to work on other projects that I love." Fans will still be able to enjoy a new theme Uematsu composed for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, No Promises to Keep, which is apparently based on rearrangements of his favourite music from the original FF7.
