This is a list of winners and nominees for the BAFTA Award for Best Original Music, formerly known as the Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music, which is presented to film composers, given out by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since 1968.
With seven wins out of seventeen nominations, John Williams is both the most nominated and most awarded in this category. Ennio Morricone is the only composer to win in consecutive years; for The Mission in 1987 and The Untouchables in 1988.[1] Morricone also has the highest perfect score and record, with six wins from six nominations. With nine nominations, Hans Zimmer remains the composer with highest nominations without a win.[2] Only six composers, John Williams (in 1975 and 1978), Vangelis (in 1982), Maurice Jarre (in 1985), Hans Zimmer (in 2017), and the composing duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (in 2020), have received two nominations in the same year. In 2019, Lady Gaga became the first woman to win this award for A Star Is Born. In 2020, Hildur Guðnadóttir became the first solo woman ever to win this award for Joker.[3]
