BAFTA Nominations 2014
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has announced the nominations for the 68th British Academy Film Awards, honoring the best in film in 2014.
In the Best Original Music category, which is named in memory of the film director Anthony Asquith, the nominees are:
- ALEXANDRE DESPLAT for The Grand Budapest Hotel
- JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON for The Theory of Everything
- MICA LEVI for Under the Skin
- ANTONIO SÁNCHEZ for Birdman
- HANS ZIMMER for Interstellar
These are the first BAFTA nominations for Jóhannsson, Levi, and Sánchez. It is the 7th BAFTA nomination for Desplat, who won the award in 2011 for his score for The King’s Speech, and the 7th BAFTA film nomination for Zimmer.
The winners of the 68th BAFTA Awards will be announced on February 8, 2015.
Hans Zimmer?! Don’t believe it, you must be kidding. Hans Zimmer?
Zimmer’s score is one of the better ones – certainly more deserving of the award than either Under the Skin or Birdman.
