Hollywood Music in Media Awards to Honor Kenny Loggins, Feature Two Nominations for Diane Warren

Share

Kenny Loggins will be honored at this year’s Hollywood Music in Media Awards for among other things, “Footloose.”The nominees, as follow, will awarded on January 27th virtually. You get a good idea here of the potential Best Songs and Scores for the Academy Awards. Diane Warren has not one but TWO nominees below, for “Free” from “The One and Only Ivan,” and “Seen” from “The Life Ahead.” Which one will make it to the Oscars? Both? Who knows? Diane has 11 Oscar nominations and is waiting for her win!

Among the original scores, two really have impressed me: the ones for “Minari” and for “Pieces of a Woman.” Also, the music from “Tenet,” and from “Soul,” of course.
