The US English pronunciations favor (HOM-idj) over (OM-idj), but the latter is increasingly used.

The silent H version seems to reflect the original Norman French adaptation from the French hommage (oh-MAHJ), used to refer to an acknowledment, tribute, or honor.

Some English users will employ the French pronunciation when referring to a cinematic or other media usage, indicating that a work purposely imitates an earlier one.
