Jon Batiste, Nicholas Britell, Taura Stinson, Carlos Rafael Rivera, Fabrizio Mancinelli and Allyson Newman are each nominated for two awards at the 2024 SCL Awards, presented by The Society of Composers and Lyricists.
Many of the SCL contenders echo the Oscar shortlists for best original song and best original score which were revealed earlier today (Dec. 21). SCL nominees include songwriters Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Lenny Kravitz, Diane Warren, and Jon Batiste who earned spots on the Oscar shortlist for best original song.
SCL nominees who were Oscar-shortlisted for best original score include Anthony Willis for Saltburn, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt for Barbie, Laura Karpman for American Fiction, the late Robbie Robertson for Killers of the Flower Moon and Mica Levi for The Zone of Interest.
The Society of Composers and Lyricists reports that it has nearly 4,000 members. According to the SCL, about half of the members of the music branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences are also members of the SCL.
The SCL Awards, now in their fifth year, will be presented on Feb. 13 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Other categories still to be announced include the Spirit of Collaboration Award which honors a long and fruitful relationship between a composer and a director.
The Society of Composers & Lyricists is a leading organization for professional film, television, video game, and musical theater composers and songwriters. The 78-year-old organization is focused on education and addressing the creative, technological and legal issues affecting the music for visual media community.
