The Hollywood Professional Association Awards Committee has announced the nominees for the 2023 HPA Awards creative categories. The HPA Awards celebrate the outstanding achievement and artistic excellence by both individuals and teams, underscoring the pivotal role that their talent and skill play in storytelling.
Established in 2006, the HPA Awards honor outstanding contributions in color grading, editing, sound, and visual effects across episodics, commercials, and feature films. This year, the committee is also pleased to introduce new award categories recognizing exceptional work in restoration, a transition from a juried honor last year, as well as dedicated categories for work on animated projects.
As previously announced, winners of the coveted Engineering Excellence Award include Adobe for Adobe Premiere Pro Text-Based Editing, Flanders Scientific for XMP550, and Kino Flo for Mimik 120, with StypeLandXR receiving an Honorable Mention.
The HPA Awards are made possible through the generous support of diamond title sponsor Blackmagic Design; event sponsors Deluxe, FotoKem, and Pixelogic; supporting sponsors Adobe, AVID, Sohonet and Colorists Society; and dessert sponsors Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services Worldwide and Xytech.
HPA extends gratitude to its industry partners, including the American Society of Cinematographers, American Cinema Editors, and Cinema Audio Society for their collaboration on craft categories, as well as its judging facility hosts: FotoKem, Pixelogic, and Deluxe Digital Cinema.
The awards gala is set for November 9 at the Hollywood Legion Theater in Hollywood. Tickets for the event are now available at hpaonline.com.
