"To Zimmer, failing to acknowledge the category devalues the very real, and largely invisible, sacrifices of these artists. "As a person who has been making films forever, everybody who works on a film works their utmost, doesn't get any sleep, there are no weekends," Zimmer said. He continued, "Sometimes my children wonder who I am - I come into the house and they call the police.""
"adding that it's "a shame not to honor those people - my friends - who work so hard to become a voice." "I think the work should always be acknowledged. This year is a fantastic year for composers - don't ignore them, you don't have a movie without them," Zimmer added. Of course, Zimmer did recognize that there's at least one upside to this perceived snub: "It means I don't have to make an insane speech and embarrass humanity as we know it.""
Hans Zimmer criticized the Golden Globes for not airing the Original Score winner, arguing the omission devalues composers' sacrifices. Zimmer was nominated for F1: The Movie and emphasized that film composers work extreme hours, lose sleep, and sacrifice family time. Zimmer has accumulated 17 nominations and won Oscars for Gladiator (2001), The Lion King re-release (2004), and Dune (2022). Ludwig Göransson won this year's Golden Globe for Original Score. Zimmer urged consistent acknowledgement of composers and wryly noted the omission spared him an "insane" acceptance speech. Academy Award nominations are scheduled for January 22.
