The Society of Composers & Lyricists has unveiled its SCL Award nominees for 2023, naming composers Alexandre Desplat (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio), Carter Burwell (The Banshees of Inisherin), Michael Abels (Nope), Michael Giacchino (The Batman) and John Powell (Don’t Worry Darling) as its contenders for Outstanding Score for a Studio Film.
The SCL’s Musical/Comedy Song nominees are as idiosyncratic as they are starry this time around, with such veteran composers as Desplat and Danny Elfman (White Noise) nominated for Musical/Comedy song alongside Bros‘ Billy Eichner and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story‘s Weird Al Yankovic.
Entrants in the Drama/Documentary Song category include recent Honorary Oscar winner Diane Warren (Tell It Like a Woman), Taylor Swift (Where the Crawdads Sing), Lady Gaga (Top Gun: Maverick), Rihanna (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and the Oscar-winning Nine Inch Nails duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who this year penned a song and score for Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal romance, Bones and All, among others.
Additional nominees came in the categories of Outstanding Score for an Independent Film, Score for Television and Score for Interactive Media, with noms for the David Raksin Award for Emerging Talent also listed.
The SCL Award nominations come following the unveiling of the Oscar shortlists for 2023, which counted Desplat and his Pinocchio songwriting team, Burwell, Abels, Powell, Warren and her collaborators, Swift and her co-songwriters, Gaga and team, Rihanna and company, and many more amongst its competitors.
The 4th edition of the ceremony celebrating score and songs in visual media will be hosted by Darren Criss, taking place at the Skirball Cultural Center on February 15. View this
