Alexandre Desplat, Hans Zimmer and Clint Mansell led the way with nominations for both Film Composer of the Year and Best Original Film Score of the Year (for The King's Speech, Inception and Black Swan respectively). Alexandre Desplat was recognized for his eight (!) scores this past year which also included Tamara Drewe, The Tree of Life and the Harry Potter finales.
Hans Zimmer was not far behind with his seven films including Megamind, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Kung Fu Panda 2.
The other nominees for Film Composer of the Year were John Powell and Patrick Doyle, while the other nominees for Best Original Film Score of the Year were the Oscar-winning score for The Social Network by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and True Grit by Carter Burwell.
(I've written about how the score for The Social Network is not at all accomplished and the only piece that stands out is the boat race music which is by Edvard Grieg. Also, Reznor and Ross have spoken about how they didn't score the movie, but just created a library of tracks that the editor spotted as he saw fit. That's not film scoring. That undeserved Oscar win bothered me the most.)
A Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to disco/electronica legend Giorgio Moroder, who produced stars such as Donna Summer and David Bowie and is a three-time Academy Award winner for Midnight Express, Flashdance and Scarface.
The music of Hans Zimmer, Elliot Goldenthal, Howard Shore and the winner of last year's World
Soundtrack Discovery Award, Abel Korzeniowski, will be performed by the
Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Dirk Brossé, in a concert dedicated to the memory of slain publicist Ronni Chasen.
The Awards will be presented at the Ghent International Film Festival on its final day, October 22.
