Philip Glass & Michael Nyman to Be Honored With Lifetime Achievement Awards at 2025 World Soundtrack Awards
Sinners was released in April and ranked No. 1 at the box office in each of its first two weekends. It’s the fifth-highest grossing film so far in 2025 domestically, behind A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch, Jurassic World: Rebirth and Superman, and No. 12 for the year so far worldwide.
Ludwig Göransson and Raphael Saadiq co-wrote “I Lied to You,” which was performed by Miles Caton, one of the stars of the film. Both writers are past Oscar nominees for best original song. Göransson was nominated for co-writing the aforementioned “Lift Me Up”; Saadiq for co-writing “Mighty River” from Mudbound. In addition to his best original song nod, Göransson is a two-time Oscar winner for best original score, for Black Panther and Oppenheimer.
The other four nominees for best original song at the World Soundtrack Awards are from 2024 films and thus can’t be in the running for Oscars next year. (One of them, “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez, won the Oscar earlier this year. Of the others, “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late, was nominated; “Winter Coat” from Blitz was shortlisted but not nominated; and “Beautiful That Way” from The Last Showgirl wasn’t even shortlisted.)
German composer and pianist Volker Bertelmann is nominated for both film composer of the year (for Conclave and The Amateur) and television composer of the year (for The Day of the Jackal, Dune: Prophecy and The Count of Monte Cristo). Bertelmann won film composer of the year at the 2023 World Soundtrack Awards.
