The nominations for Danna, Velázquez and Williams were each for a single score – director Ang Lee’s vivid shipwreck drama Life of Pi, director Juan Antonio Bayona’s harrowing tsunami drama Lo Imposible (The Impossible) and director Steven Spielberg’s look at the last months of the life of Lincoln, respectively.
Desplat’s nominations were for his body of work in 2012 which included writing IFMCA Award-nominated music for the quirky comedy Moonrise Kingdom, the storybook animation Rise of the Guardians, and the contemporary war thriller Zero Dark Thirty, as well as for the 1970s espionage thriller Argo, the realistic French romantic drama De rouille et d'os (Rust and Bone), the Italian satirical comedy Reality, and the French-language biopic Cloclo.
The other nominees for Film Score of the Year are the ambitious sci-fi drama Cloud Atlas by Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil (two nominations), and director Peter Jackson’s epic fantasy prequel The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey by Howard Shore (two nominations).
Danna, Desplat, Velázquez and Williams are also short-listed for Film Composer of the Year along with Danny Elfman, who enjoyed a stellar year composing music for such popular and successful films as Dark Shadows, Frankenweenie, Hitchcock, Men in Black III, Promised Land and Silver Linings Playbook.
The IFMCA recognizes emerging talent in the film music world, and this year is no exception. The nominees in the Breakout Composer of the Year category include young Spanish composer Zeltia Montes for her work on the Spanish feature drama Vilamor; composer Dan Romer and composer/director Benh Zeitlin for their captivating bluegrass-flavored score for the critically acclaimed Beasts of the Southern Wild; Joseph Trapanese for his work on the animated TV show Tron: Uprising; Nathan Johnson for his unconventionally percussive music for the acclaimed sci-fi thriller Looper; and composer/conductor Nic Raine, a long time associate of the late John Barry and contributor to Silva Screen and Tadlow Music’s series of re-recordings, who has begun to establish his own musical voice through his score for the German-language thriller Wir Wollten aufs Meer (Shores of Hope).
As it has in previous years, the IFMCA takes pride in honoring composers from across the film music world; this year’s international nominees include French composer Philippe Rombi for his work on director François Ozon’s thriller Dans la maison (In the House), Finnish composer Panu Aaltio for the beautiful nature documentary score Metsän tarina (The Tale of a Forest), UK-based Portuguese composer Miguel d’Oliveira’s score for the BBC documentary Shakespeare And Us, Argentinean composer Federico Jusid’s music for the Spanish TV series Isabel, and Japanese composer Naoki Sato’s contribution to the Japanese TV series Priceless.
Several composers are receiving their first ever IFMCA Award nominations this year, including Jon Brion (Paranorman, Animation), Robert Folk (There Be Dragons – Secretos de Pasión, Drama), Pascal Gaigne (Los Mundos Sutiles (Subtle Worlds), Documentary), Grant Kirkhope (Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Video Game), Walter Murphy (Ted, Comedy), Frederik Wiedmann (Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Television), and the team from Blizzard Entertainment led by Russell Brower and Neal Acree (World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, Video Game).
The International Film Music Critics Association will announce the winners of the 9th IFMCA Awards on February 21, 2013.
