‘Oppenheimer’ and Billie Eilish’s ‘Barbie’ Song Among Winners at 2024 Society of Composers and Lyricists Awards
The composers and songwriters behind the music of “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” were among the winners at the 5th annual Society of Composers & Lyricists, given out in a ceremony Tuesday night at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
Though there was no “Barbenheimer” showdown at the 2024 SCL Awards, music from each film won in their respective categories. Ludwig Göransson, composer of the “Oppenheimer” score, won Outstanding Original Score for a Studio Film. And naturally, Billie Eilish and Finneas won in the Outstanding Original Song for a Comedy or Musical category for their song “What Was I Made for?” from the “Barbie” soundtrack.
What that means for these compositions’ hopes next month at the Academy Awards is anyone’s guess. Of the previous 4 SCL Awards ceremonies, the Outstanding Original Score for a Studio Film winner has taken home the comparable Oscar two times. Meanwhile, the original song categories have only produced one winner since the SCL Awards were launched.
Then again, that winner was (wait for it) Billie Eilish and Finneas back in 2022 for their contribution to “No Time to Die.” And so far this year they’ve picked up a ton of prizes for “What Was I Made For,” with more nominations pending in the weeks to come.
Other winners include Olivia Rodrigo, who won Outstanding Original Song for a Drama or Documentary with “Can’t Catch Me Now,” from “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” and Nicholas Britell, who picked up Outstanding Original Score for a Television Production for his “Succession” music.
The Spirit of Collaboration Award, which honors director-composer teams, went to Martin Scorsese and his longtime composer Robbie Robertson.
The event was hosted by Grammy winner and two-time Oscar nominee Siedah Garrett.
