Could Diane Warren be on the way to her first Oscar win? If the 11th Annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards had their way, that would be a resounding yes. The 11 time Oscar nominee (most recently nominated last year for her song “I’m Standing With You” from Breakthrough) won the award for outstanding song in a feature film for the song “Io Is (Seen)” from the Sophia Loren starring Netflix film The Life Ahead. Warren is one of those people with a lot of friends in the business whose name keeps being listed on nomination morning even when you had no idea she had a song in contention (like for… Breakthrough). This might finally be her year.
Other winners from the night included Justin Timberlake and Ludwig Göransson, winning for outstanding song in an animated film along with their co-writers Max Martin and Sarah Aarons for their song from Trolls World Tour. On the score side of things there were several film awards handed out, some of them going to major competitors for this year’s Oscar. James Newton Howard won the award for score in a feature film for the recently released News of the World, Ludwig Göransson picked up another win for his work on Tenet in the sci-fi/fantasy category, the great Emile Mosseri won the independent film score prize for Minari. Taking the independent song prize was The Outpost, rewarding Larry Groupé, Rod Lurie, and Rita Wilson for “Everybody Cries.”
One of the big questions for Oscar morning will be whether we’ll hear the name Soul announced among the Best Original Score nominees. Disney rightfully submitted Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jon Batiste all together for the award, but some are speculating that their score might be one of those notorious cases of a major contender being deemed ineligible and not showing up on nomination morning. It won the Hollywood Music in Media Award for outstanding score in an animated film, and remains the frontrunner for the Oscar… if it can get nominated.
