The Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) announced the nominees for its 2016 HPA Awards honoring achievement in editing, sound, VFX and color-grading.

Mostly, the HPA Awards spread the wealth among different projects and facilities, although there were a couple of categories where a single company dominated. Company 3, for example, earned five out of seven total nominations for color-grading on a commercial. Factory earned four of five nominations for outstanding sound in a commercial, and ILM and Framestore each got three out of five in the categories of VFX for feature films and commercials, respectively.

The award-winners will be announced during a ceremony on November 17 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Among the other awards to be handed out are the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award, which will be presented to Herb Dow, ACE, the Charles S. Swartz Awards, which is being given to Aspera CEO Michelle Munson, and the Judges Award for Creativity and Innovation, which is going to The Mill's Blackbird.

The Engineering Excellence Award will be given to Aspera, Grass Valley, RealD, and SGO, with Grass Valley and Canon USA receiving Honorable Mentions.
