It features Central Oregon Symphony musicians, including Thomas, conducted by Michael Gesme. While it wasn’t the typical award show scenario, Bend composer Chris Thomas reacts to winning the Holly- wood Music in Me- dia Award for Out- standing Original Score for the short film “Imagine Sym- phony Live.” Submitted photo According to hmmawards.com, it’s “the first award organization to honor original music (Song and Score) in all visual media from around the globe including film, TV, video games, trailers, commercial adver- tisements, documentaries and special pro- grams.” Nominees in Thomas’ category included Dave Catalano (“A Bathroom on Drake”), J. M. Quintana Cámara (“Defenseless), Zhiyi Wang (“My People, My Country”) and Annie Rosevear (“The First Color”). Thomas had been a guest at the HM- MAs previously, but this year’s ceremony, held Jan. 27, was livestreamed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “They have this great party. It’s not like the Oscars, where everyone’s kind of cor- ralled and you can’t reach the celebrities or talk to them. This one, it’s like a room full of Oscar and Grammy winners, and it’s a big, fun party, and everyone’s just running around having a good time,” he said. “I was really disappointed that the year I win, and I could’ve gone and sat with the winners, I was like, ‘Here I am on my couch, watch- ing this on TV.’ … My wife took a picture of me when I won. I’m in my pajamas with a big blanket over me, with my arms in the air.” Nonetheless, his reaction upon see- ing that he’d won was one of “Surprise,” Thomas said. “I’ve won some stuff, but you just never expect it,” he said. “For shows like this, you’re just lucky to be in the mix for a minute. But then when my name kind of scrolled out, I was like, ‘No way.’” ý David Jasper: 541-383-0349, djasper@bendbulletin.com
