The music from “The Odyssey,” “Michael,” “Brother vs. Brother,” “Behemoth!” and “Linda Perry: Let It Die Here” have received multiple nominations from the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, which announced its 2026 nominees on Monday.
Those five films received three nominations each across the song, score, supervision, performance and music video categories. Films receiving two nominations included “Wuthering Heights,” “La Bola Negra,” “The Debut,” “Toy Story 5” and “Wildwood.” ‘
Composer Daniel Pemberton received four nominations spread across the films “Project Hail Mary,” “The Drama” and “Musk” and the TV series “Slow Horses.” Mina Samy also received four noms, for the film “Ezma,” the international TV series “The Death Ward” and the short film “Stopped.” Ludwig Göransson earned three nominations, all for “The Odyssey.”

Nominated composers included Randy Newman, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Kris Bowers, Michael Giacchino, Laura Karpman, James Newton Howard, Danny Elfman, Volker Bertelmann and the Behemoth! Collective, a group of nine composers who wrote the music for “Behemoth!”
TV nominees included composers for “The Pitt,” “South Park,” “Slow Horses,” “Widow’s Bay,” “Pluribus” and “East of Eden.”
Last year, the HMMA’s four song categories contained three of the five songs that went on to be nominated for Oscars, and 11 of the 15 songs shortlisted by the Academy’s Music Branch. The seven score categories contained four Oscar nominees and 11 of the 20 shortlisted scores.
