Women composers and songwriters have been surprisingly well represented this year. Fifteen of the 35 individuals proposed, or nearly 43% of the total, are women. They are nominated in all six competitive categories and won all three places for the new David Raksin Award for Emerging Talent.

Four nominees each received two nominations: Jonny Greenwood (“Power of the Dog”, “Spencer”), Kid Cudi (songs in “Don’t Look Up” and “The Harder They Fall”), Germaine Franco (scores for ” Encanto ”and the game“ Kung Fu Panda: The Land of Awesomeness ”) and veteran songwriter Diane Warren (“ Four Good Days ”,“ The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses ”).

Music superstars, who topped the Oscars list for best song, had less of an impact on SCL voters. Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Billie Eilish, Rufus Wainwright and Jay-Z were on the list. But Van Morrison, Brian Wilson, HER, Bono and Beyoncé – all shortlisted by the music branch of the Academy – didn’t.

SCL – the premier organization for professional film, television, game and musical theater composers and songwriters – sets itself apart from other award groups in that it differentiates between studio films and films. independent (thus making 10 slots available for composers), and songs in musicals. or comedy films and songs in dramatic or documentary films (allowing 10 slots for music lovers).

Actor-singer-songwriter Darren Criss will host the SCL event, which will also honor songwriter Carter Burwell and filmmakers Joel Coen and Ethan Coen with the Spirit of Collaboration Award for their 37-year history together. Performers are expected to include Grammy winner Judith Hill and Grammy nominees Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear (“Bridgerton: The Unofficial Musical”).

Hildur Guðnadóttir (“Joker”) and Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste (“Soul”) from last year, the former SCL winners who won Oscars.
