Academy Award Winners 2024
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have announced the winners of the 97th Academy Awards, honoring the best in film in 2024.
In the Best Original Music category, the winner was Daniel Blumberg, who won the award for his score for The Brutalist, director Brady Corbet’s epic drama about the life of a fictional Hungarian architect who emigrates to the United States in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Accepting his award, Blumberg said:
Thank you to the Academy and everyone who watched the film and honored the work. It means a lot to be acknowledged like this. I’ve been an artist for twenty years now, since I was a teenager, and when I met Brady [Corbet] I found my artistic soulmate. For him to trust me in this work and to grow alongside him has been so special; thank you, Brady, I love you. I want to thank my collaborators, my co-producer Peter Walsh, and the artists who played on the score. The sounds you hear on The Brutalist are made by a group of hard-working radical musicians who have been making uncompromising music for many years; I’m accepting this award on behalf of them too. Thanks to my family and Stacy [Martin], and my manager Mark, Keith, and Mona [Fastvold] and Ada, and my friends at Café Oto.
The other nominees were: Volker Bertelmann for Conclave, Kris Bowers for The Wild Robot, Clément Ducol and Camille Dalmais for Emilia Pérez, and John Powell and Stephen Schwartz for Wicked.
In the Best Original Song category, the winners were Clément Ducol, Camille Dalmais, and Jacques Audiard for their song “El Mal” from the Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez.
