The HMMA has arranged special discounted room rates at the world renowned Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, located at the Hollywood & Highland / Kodak Theater Complex. To insure your room rate, you must make reservations before October 29th! When making your reservations, mention you are with the HMMA to receive the group rate.

RED CARPET:
The HMMA's red carpet will be in the venue to the right of the main entrance. Red Carpet arrivals begin at 5:00 and continue through 8:00 (show start) All nominees will have the opportunity to walk the red carpet, be photographed and briefly interviewed in a designated area off the carpet. There are many nominees so, it is requested you limit your carpet time so everyone can experience it. After the carpet, please enter the venue and get situated.

AWARD PRESENTATIONS:
A show program listing all nominees and award presentations, including a MIMIpro schedule, will be available to all show attendees. Please pay attention when your award category is coming up. If you're in the balcony and your name is announced, it will take several minutes to reach the stage so, BE ON THE MAIN FLOOR WHEN YOUR CATEGORY COMES UP. It would be a shame for you to miss out on accepting your award in front of everybody!

PHYSICAL AWARDS:
The HMMA will have prop award plaques for the event. All plaques are ordered and manufactured AFTER the ceremony. This is necessary to insure award plaques are not lost, damaged or stolen at the event and allows you to enjoy yourself without that burden.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES:
If your name is announced as the winner of your category, please waste no time in getting to the podium. You'll have a brief moment to say thank you and exit the stage. It's far more classy to exit gracefully than to be cut off at the podium...please keep it short & sweet.

VIP GIFT BAG INSERTS:
The HMMA has a VIP Gift Bag insert option we offer nominees and companies. To take advantage of this option, a promotional fee is required to have your material in the 250 VIP Gift Bags.
