I've generally always heard it pronounced with an H. It just sounds awkward without it. I do think it can pronounced either way though.

Pronounced with the "H"?

I guess according to a (not so) recent sample poll, 43% of people are Tracy Morgan in Cop Out.

Umm, you prounounce "homage" oh-mauj, not HO-mauj, so "an" is the only correct way to say it.
It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here

It CAN be pronounced either way, any reputable dictionary will tell you that. The etymology of it is basically from "homo" though.. so do you go around calling people "oh-mo Sapiens" or say "oh-munculus" or maybe that something is "oh-mogeneous" then?

"An" is correct. Homage is from the French, and the h isn't pronounced, so it is like a word that begins with a vowel.

Not every "H" word with a French etymology has a silent "H".. Habit. Hierarchy. Heron.

No it doesn't.
We in England (you know, the guys that invented the language) pronounce the H as it should be. Can't believe people think it's silent, lol. Only people that drop the H and pronounce it 'omage' are chavs.

"We in England?" No no gives a beep about you in England. And what the hell is a Chav I'm not up to date with your British slang.
This movie wasn't made in jolly ol' Ingerland so you don't get to decide how how it's pronounced now beep off.

Sorry, always one redneck that thinks the US is the centre of the universe. Continue to pronounce is ah-mige like an ignorant fool.
Proper English pronounciation is like I said earlier.

I'm pretty sure the ignorant one is the person who doesn't realize he/she posts a link that shows that both pronunciations are valid.

erm actually we in England dont pronounce the h as it is in fact silent..

Well considering Homage is pronounced like "Ah-mige" I would say "An" sounds more appropriate.
