Screen Music Awards 2018: nominees

Glitch, Mystery Road, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Wake in Fright nominated amongst best 2018 screen compositions.

Glitch, Mystery Road, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Wake in Fright and The Justine Clarke Show are amongst nominees in the 2018 Screen Music Awards.

AGSC President Caitlin Yeo said, “The Screen Music Awards are a highlight for our screen composers every year. While it is most certainly a celebration of our craft it is also an opportunity to gather together, debrief and learn from each other. This is now more important than ever. In our rapidly changing globalised industry, with tighter schedules and shrinking resources, the challenges we face in producing world-class scores are immense. If our industry is to survive and thrive then it will be, in part, through shared experiences such as these and by supporting and celebrating each other. Congratulations to all the nominees and I hope to see you there on the night!”

The winners will be announced at a gala event in Sydney at the City Recital Hall on Monday 19 November. Musical Director Jessica Wells will lead a live orchestra that will perform a selection of nominated compositions and Denise Scott will host.

  1. This article makes me think of the show Weeds as its title music was a different rendition of the song ‘Little Boxes’ at the beginning of each episode, the use of different styles of music for shows is now common place, especially on pay TV, where shows like Sharp Objects and Get Shorty, Power, have different original music at the end of each episode, and lets not forget the satirical show Silicon Valley, all great fun. It seems that music albums for TV shows need to receive an award too.
