The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) have announced the winners of the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, honoring the best in film and American television of 2024.
In the Best Original Score category composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won the award for their upbeat electro-pop inspired score for Challengers, director Luca Guadagnino’s spicy drama starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Feist, about a love triangle that develops over several years in the world of professional tennis. This is the third Golden Globe win for Reznor and Ross – they previously won for The Social Network in 2010, and for Soul in 2020. In the acceptance speech Ross, speaking on behalf of both men, said:
“Thank you to Golden Globes, this really means a lot, particularly in this special moment. First I’d like to thank my best friend, my musical partner, the great talent Trent Reznor. The music that revealed itself as the voice to Challengers never felt like a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one. I’d like to thank the maestro, the visionary director, and our friend Luca Guadagnino – where is he? – for his unwavering support and commitment to the idea. In fact I’d like to thank everyone that helped bring this film to life, and to acknowledge Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, and the fabulous Zendaya, for their encouragement. To be honest we always we thought we’d get the call – ‘can you just turn it down a little bit’ – but it never came, and here we are. Lastly, we want to thank the most important people in our lives, our wives and our children. Mariqueen [Maandiq], Trent loves you. Claudia [Sarne], I love you. And all the kids, we love you. Thank you! ”
