Zimmer is nominated for the Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media category with the Dune: Part Two (2024) soundtrack and also for the Best Song Written for Visual Media category with “Love Will Survive” from The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which he wrote with Kara Talve, Charlie Midnight and Walter Afanasieff.

Atticus Ross is nominated as a composer with collaborator Trent Reznor for the score soundtrack to Challengers (2024) starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. Ross, along with Leopold Ross and Nick Cuba, has two nominations in the same category — Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media — with FX’s Shōgun, which also netted many trophies at the 2024 Emmys.
