We hasten to share with you the names of nominees of Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The ceremony will be held in Hollywood on November 18. Famous persons in the sphere of TV, cinema and – our lovely! - videogame music composing will be awarded there. You can satisfy your curiosity, reading the name list below – here, our heroes of stave:

Garry Schyman - BioShock 2
Jesper Kyd - Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Jim Dooley - Epic Mickey
Knut Avenstroup Haugen - Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer

Petri Alanko - Alan Wake
Ramin Djawadi - Medal of Honor
Cris Velasco, Mike Reagan, Gerard Marino, Ron Fish, JJeff Rona - God of War III
Tom Salta - - Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

We are very glad to find in this list such names as Petri Alanko and Ramin Djawadi, despite of their debut in this industry. Separate nomination is devoted to vocal composition from videogame, and there are only three pretenders for victory:

"God and Mankind" (Godeater) Written by Go Shiina / Performed by Go Shiina and the Japanese Studio Orchestra, featuring Donna Burke
"Things Will Never Be The Same" (Tap Tap Revenge 3) Written & Performed by Hypnogaja "With Hearts Sublime" (Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole) Written by Winifred Phillips & Winnie Waldron / Performed by Winifred Phillips

You may expect a hot battle between musical directors: not only Simon Landry (Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands) will fight for the first place. Paul Gorman (Dante's Inferno) and Steve Schnur (Medal of Honor) will keep him a company. And almost forgot, the last fighter - SCEA Music Team (God of War III).

We are tired to tape one more list apart, so, if you are interested in movie composers, you could find out the information on official site of Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
