Golden Globe Nominations 2018
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has announced the nominations for the 76th Golden Globe Awards, honoring the best in film and American television of 2018.
In the Best Original Score category, the nominees are:
- MARCO BELTRAMI for A Quiet Place
- ALEXANDRE DESPLAT for Isle of Dogs
- LUDWIG GÖRANSSON for Black Panther
- JUSTIN HURWITZ for First Man
- MARC SHAIMAN for Mary Poppins Returns
This is the first Golden Globe nomination for Beltrami, and the first major film music nomination of any kind for Göransson, although Göransson has been a multiple Grammy award nominee and winner for his work as a producer for Donald Glover and Childish Gambino.
This is the 2nd nomination for Hurwitz, who previously won the Globe for La La Land in 2016, the 2nd nomination for Shaiman, and the 10th nomination for Desplat, who previously won the Globe for The Painted Veil in 2006 and The Shape of Water in 2017.
In the Best Original Song category, the nominees are:
- JÓN ÞÓR BIRGISSON (JÓNSI), TROYE SIVAN, and BRETT McLAUGHLIN for “Revelation” from Boy Erased
- KENDRICK LAMAR DUCKWORTH, ANTHONY TIFFITH, MARK SPEARS (SOUNWAVE), SOLÁNA ROWE (SZA), and AL SHUCKBURGH (AL SHUX) for “All the Stars” from Black Panther
- STEFANI GERMANOTTA (LADY GAGA), MARK RONSON, ANTHONY ROSSOMANDO, and ANDREW WYATT for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born
- ANNIE LENNOX for “Requiem for A Private War” from A Private War
- DOLLY PARTON and LINDA PERRY for “Girl in the Movies” from Dumplin’
The winners of the 76th Golden Globe Awards will be announced on January 6, 2019.
Desplat’s awards success has been impressive these past few years. Part of me wonders if he’s taken over the space that Thomas Newman once occupied: the go-to guy in Hollywood for mature prestige drama scores.
