Quote:
HMMAs nominees are determined by an advisory board and selection committee that includes journalists, music executives, songwriters and composers. Winners are chosen by select members of the Society of Composers & Lyricists, the TV Academy, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' music branch, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and performing-rights organizations, as well as film-music journalists and music executives.
If last year's voting is any indication, then the HMMAs are as strong a predictor of best original song and best original score Golden Globe and Oscar noms as any of the awards that precede those -- all five score nominees last year also were nominated for the corresponding Golden Globe, and the HMMAs was the only notable precursor award to even nominate the song "Lost Stars" (it actually gave it the best original song prize) en route to its Oscar nom.
