The awards are organized by Film Fest Gent, Belgium’s biggest international film festival.
Nominees in three categories – film composer of the year, television composer of the year and best original song – were announced and posted on Billboard.com on Aug. 7. A second wave of nominations were announced on Friday (Sept. 13).
Two of the nominees for the discovery of the year award – Jerskin Fendrix (Poor Things) and Anthony Willis (Saltburn) are also nominated for film composer of the year, where they will compete with veterans Göransson, Laura Karpman and Hans Zimmer.
Three of the five nominees for film composer of the year are represented with multiple works. Fendrix’s entry includes both Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness, director Yorgos Lanthimos’ follow-up to Poor Things. Karpman’s entry includes her Oscar-nominated score for American Fiction, her score for the 2023 film The Marvels and her Emmy-nominated score for Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed. Zimmer’s entry includes his scores for the 2023 film The Creator and the 2024 film Dune: Part Two.
Veteran composer Elliot Goldenthal is set to receive the WSA lifetime achievement award for his contribution to film and television music. Goldenthal won an Oscar for best original score in 2003 for Frida and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy the following year – outstanding music composition for a miniseries, movie or a special (dramatic underscore) for Dance in America: Lar Lubovitch’s Othello (Great Performances).
