Not so long ago, composers doing “genre” material — horror, science fiction, fantasy — saw an Oscar or Emmy nomination as a longshot, namely because voters didn’t seem to take those projects seriously.
“When you talk about awards recognition, a lot of the time it’s really about what’s in the collective consciousness,” says TV Academy music governor. “Genre films and television shows have been at the top of the collective consciousness for a number of reasons: The types of stories being told are escapism, and we’ve needed a lot of escapism over the last two years. Those projects evoke a lot of emotional connectivity, and they rely heavily on music to help tell their story.
Christopher Lennertz, nominated this year for a song from the subversive superhero series “The Boys” — also recognized in the drama series category — thinks the worldwide successes of such comic-book movies as “Black Panther,” “Wonder Woman” and “Captain Marvel” have led to an awakening of awards voters.
