The authors and songwriters behind the music of “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” were amongst the winners at the 5th yearly Society of Composers & & Lyricists, provided in an event Tuesday night at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
There was no “Barbenheimer” face-off at the 2024 SCL Awards, music from each movie won in their particular classifications. Ludwig Göransson, author of the “Oppenheimer” rating, won Outstanding Original Score for a Studio Film. And naturally, Billie Eilish and Finneas won in the Outstanding Original Song for a Comedy or Musical classification for their tune “What Was I Made for?” from the “Barbie” soundtrack.
What that suggests for these structures’ hopes next month at the Academy Awards is anybody’s guess. Of the previous 4 SCL Awards events, the Outstanding Original Score for a Studio Film winner has actually taken home the similar Oscar 2 times. The initial tune classifications have actually just produced one winner because the SCL Awards were introduced.
Once again, that winner was (wait for it) Billie Eilish and Finneas back in 2022 for their contribution to “No Time to Die.” Therefore far this year they’ve gotten a lots of rewards for “What Was I Made For,” with more elections pending in the weeks to come.
Other winners consist of Olivia Rodrigo, who won Outstanding Original Song for a Drama or Documentary with “Can’t Catch Me Now,” from “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & & Snakes,” and Nicholas Britell, who got Outstanding Original Score for a Television Production for his “Succession” music.
The Spirit of Collaboration Award, which honors director-composer groups, went to Martin Scorsese and his long time author Robbie Robertson.
The occasion was hosted by Grammy winner and two-time Oscar candidate Siedah Garrett.
