The Oscar for Best Original Score<\/a> is a highly sought-after and hotly contested category every year at the Academy Awards. This year was no different, with new contenders appearing for the first time, competing against the legends of the game. John Williams has broken his own record for the most nominations for any single living person, while Jerskin Fendrix makes a splash with a nomination for his very first feature film at just 29. But it was the most talked-about film composer of the moment who ended up taking home the top prize: Oppenheimer<\/em>‘s Ludwig G\u00f6ransson. Without further ado, here is your guide to this year’s winner, along with the other nominations for this year\u2019s Oscars for Best Original Score<\/a>.<\/p> Swedish composer Ludwig G\u00f6ransson<\/a> has become one of the biggest names in the film music world in recent years, thanks to his work on films including Creed, <\/em>Marvel\u2019s Black Panther<\/em>, Christopher Nolan\u2019s Tenet <\/em>and Disney+\u2019s Star Wars <\/em>series, The Mandalorian<\/em>. As well as scoring some of the biggest films of the last few years, G\u00f6ransson has worked as a record producer with Childish Gambino on several of his albums. This year he has already clinched the other two major awards for film scoring, winning the BAFTA<\/a> and Golden Globe for his Oppenheimer <\/em>score<\/a>.<\/p> G\u00f6ransson chose to place the violin at the heart of his score, thanks to its versatility and ability to \u2018go from the most romantic melodic tone and within a split second turn the tremolo into something neurotic and manic\u2019, he told Variety. <\/em>As is typical of many of his scores, he uses synthesizers to enhance or evolve organic recorded instrumental sounds. The film\u2019s director Christopher Nolan suggested the prominent use of the violin, because he thinks of it as a \u2018fretless instrument\u2019, much like the film\u2019s protagonist, J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.<\/p>Winner of the Oscar for Best Original Score 2024<\/h2>
