    LOS ANGELES --

    The winners of the 16th Annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards™ (HMMA) were unveiled last night (11/19) during a star-studded ceremony at The Avalon in Hollywood, Calif..

    The HMMAs showcase and honor the most memorable film and TV music moments of the year with tributes to icons of the industry. HMMA nominations are often seen as a bellwether for the Academy Awards and historically represent nominees and winners at the Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys, and Emmys, all of which follow the HMMAs later in awards season.

    Sinners received the most HMMAs with a total of three. Ludwig Göransson received two HMMAs for Score–Feature Film, and Song–Feature Film for “I Lied To You,” which he co-wrote with fellow HMMA winner Raphael Saadiq. Sinners star Miles Caton, who performed the song in the film, also accepted an award for On-Screen Performance (Film).
