Nominees for the Hollywood Post Alliance Awards have been announced. The awards recognize top talent in a number of categories that are critical to creative and technical post-production for motion pictures, television and commercials.
This is the inaugural year for the HPA Awards, which attracted high powered submissions in every category. Earlier this month winners of the Engineering Excellence Award were announced. Digital Vision, MTI Film, and Sony will each receive Engineering Excellence recognition at the November 1st event for pioneering technologies and products. Also on November 1, Emory Cohen, a leader in a number of post-production methods and practices in sound, sound editing, film and video completion will receive the Outstanding Contribution to Post Production Award.
Tickets are still available for the gala evening, which will be held on November 1st at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. A cocktail reception follows the Awards Show. Tickets can be purchased at www.hpaawards.net
