Nominations are now being accepted for the annual Home Entertainment Media Play Awards, which for the eighth year is being presented by Media Play News.
Nominations for the awards — which honor the best movies, series and other content aimed at home audiences released during 2024, from streaming to TVOD to disc — are due from participating studios, distributors and content creators Feb. 7.
Winners in all categories will then be determined by a blue-ribbon panel of industry experts in conjunction with a consumer vote. Voting will take place in March and the winners will be announced in April.
The awards cover a wide array of home entertainment options, including streaming, from SVOD to AVOD and FAST; DVD, Blu-ray Disc and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray; premium video-on-demand (PVOD) and digital sellthrough.

“Best of show” winners are then selected from among all eligible submissions for Packaged-Media Title of the Year, TV Disc Release of the Year and Best Blu-ray Disc. A “Fan-Favorite” trophy also will be awarded for the single title receiving the most consumer votes. Judges may also present awards based on special merit.
Last year’s Home Entertainment Media Play Awards saw Universal Pictures Home Entertainment’s Oppenheimer take six trophies including the top prize of Title of the Year, as well as Blu-ray Disc of the Year, Best 4K Ultra HD Disc, Best Audio/Visual Quality, Best New Movie Home Release and Fan-Favorite Title of the Year.
Overall, this is the 15th edition of the annual home entertainment awards.
