The nominees are in for this year’s APRA Screen Music Awards, which recognise work in feature film and series categories.
Several of the 2024 nominees are repeat offenders.
Karl Steven picks up two nominations in each category, some being solo nominations, some in partnership with other composers. A winner at six of the previous 10 editions of the awards, it’s hard not to view him as a favourite to come away with something.
Arli Liberman and Troy Kingi, nominated for The Mountain, are also previous winners of APRA Screen Awards, as is Dana Lund, whose in the running this year for her work on James Napier-Robertson’s Joika.
Awards will be presented at the Silver Scrolls event in Wellington on Tuesday 8 October.
