Overview
- Organizers removed the score award from the CBS/Paramount+ broadcast to shorten the show, presenting it inside the Beverly Hilton and sharing results online.
- Hans Zimmer, a nominee for F1, criticized the move on the red carpet, calling it "a little bit ignorant" and "a shame" for hardworking composers.
- Ludwig Göransson won Best Original Score for Sinners, prevailing over Alexandre Desplat, Jonny Greenwood, Kangding Ray, Max Richter, and Zimmer.
- Several outlets noted the category was effectively handled during a commercial break, reducing on-air visibility compared with past Globes.
- The cut followed recent additions to the telecast such as Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, Best Stand-up Comedian, and this year’s Best Podcast award.
