16th Hollywood Music in Media Nominations

A lot of interesting selections. Many won’t make it to the Oscars but it gives us a preview of some of the potential contenders. We also know exactly what film Diane Warren is likely to win her Oscar for. What better honor than to give it to her for a documentary about her. Though, with an original song from Wicked: For Good, it’s certainly not a shoo-in. Winners will be announced on November 19.
