TheOppenheimerteam has added another feather to their cap with Ludwig Goransson winning the Oscar for Best Original Score. Christopher Nolan’s epic biography has taken the Oscar stage by storm this year, winning almost in all major categories.
This year’s win was Ludwig Goransson’s second Oscar win afterBlack Pantherand is his second collaboration with filmmaker Christopher Nolan afterTenet. Nolan joined Goransson after his regular collaborator Hans Zimmer could not work with him onTenetdue to his commitments toDune. While the duo created magic together on screen, Goransson did one thing that Nolan could never do with Zimmer, i.e., win the Oscar for his film.
Ludwig Goransson Wins Oscar For Best Original Score
Music composerLudwig Goranssonwon his second Oscar this evening for composing for Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimer. The composer is known for his experimental soundtracks for films such asBlack PantherandTenet, as well asThe Mandalorian. Goransson had won the Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice, and the Grammy for Best Original Score.
In his speech, Ludwig Goransson gave a special mention to his wife Serena McKinney for performing the violin in the score. The violin in Goransson’sCan You Hear the Music?was one of the most lauded aspects of the score and was one of the most memorable sequences in the film. Goransson credited director Christopher Nolan for giving him the idea of using the violin.
In a previous interview with theA.Frame, Goransson mentioned how Christopher Nolan gave only one reference for the soundtrack, and that wasTheRite of Springby Stravinsky. Gorannson mentioned how he was flabbergasted at the reference but went on to create the most magnificent part of the score.
