Somehow over the years the Hollywood Music in Media Awards have escaped me. The event's fifth annual slate of nominees were announced today, and it's a pretty standard assortment of names we've been considering at the forefront of this year's Best Original Score Oscar race, from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to Hans Zimmer to the ubiquitous Alexandre Desplat. The nominees were chosen by an "Hmma advisory board and selection committee," and winners will be voted upon by "music-media industry professionals comprised of select members of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, The Television Academy, the AMPAS Music Branch, Naras, performing rights organizations, film music journalists and music executives," according to the press release. You might raise your eyebrow at something like "Interstellar" being on here when it hasn't been screened for these purposes (or much at all, for that matter). The nominations are also based on hearing music via...

Regina Spektor's "You've Got Time" serves as the opening credits song for the Netflix hit "Orange is the New Black," and the combo of a frantic guitar riff and lyrics suggesting animals trapped in a cage is a perfect fit for the show. But as it turns out, the show's closing credit songs also expertly mesh with plot points or themes from each episode. Except for episode 11, "Little Mustachioed Shit," which uses an original instrumental from show composers Brandon Jay and Gwendolyn Sanford, each episode's closing credits features a popular or classic song that perfectly encapsulates what we've just watched. Here's the music that "Orange is the New Black" producers chose to close each episode of Season 2, and our thoughts on why they fit so perfectly. [Spoilers for all of Season 2 below.] Episode 1, "Thirsty Bird" Song: "Love Bug Blues" by Charles Bradley The season two premiere's combo of insects and love bites is perfectly capped...

The composers of four Netflix series revealed the tricks of their trade to members of the Society of Composers and Lyricists June 3 at Pacific Design Center. "Orange Is the New Black's second season is much darker," said Gwendolyn Sanford, composer of the show, which returns June 6. "The sound of the show is very cavernous." Sanford, a wry singer/songwriter, got her break when Mike White and Miguel Arteta couldn't get rights to "Free to Be You and Me" for Chuck and Buck (2000). "Marlo Thomas wouldn't give them rights, and they asked, 'Can you write a children's

The Romy and Michele musical ("Romy And Michele's High School Musical?") is officially a thing! Playbill has an exclusive up about the 2-year-old project helmed by the three original producers of "Romy And Michele's High School Reunion," which finally saw a private reading in New York last week. Tony nominee Kerry Butler ("Xanadu," "Catch Me If You Can") read for the part of Michele, and Lesli Margherita ("Zorro") read for her deep-voiced compadre Romy. (Side note: someone named "Lesli Margherita" in this role --> yes.)
Playbill's other pertinent reveals: the ever-important score for the musical has already been written by "Weeds" soundtrack-scribes Gwendolyn Sanford and Brandon Jay, selected for their "special" "80s-90s rock sound"; the script is a "reimagining," with scenes from the movie mixed with new stuff; and the ultimate destination is indeed Broadway, though one producer told Playbill, "we don't want to blow the show up just...
