Hans Zimmer, Billie Eilish and Ludwig Göransson are among the first wave of nominees at the World Soundtrack Awards (WSA) 2024.
The winners will be announced on October 16 at the WSA ceremony and concert, held during Belgium’s Film Fest Ghent.
Zimmer is nominated in film composer of the year for his work on Dune: Part Two and The Creator. He is competing alongside recent Oscar winner Göransson (Oppenheimer); Jerskin Fendrix, who scored Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest features Kinds Of Kindness and Poor Things; Anthony Willis (Saltburn); and Laura Karpman, who worked on American Fiction, The Marvels and Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed.
Eilish, meanwhile, is nominated for her Oscar-winning hit What Was I Made For?, one of three songs from Barbie nominated in best original song - the other two being ’I’m Just A Ken’ and Dua Lipa’s ’Dance The Night’.
Other contenders in this category include ’You’ve Never Had Chocolate Like This’ from Wonka and Lenny Kravitz’s ‘Road To Freedom’ from Rustin.
