Overview
- Ludwig Göransson won Best Original Score for Sinners at the Beverly Hilton, but his acceptance was not shown on the CBS/Paramount+ broadcast.
- Hans Zimmer, a nominee for F1, called the last‑minute decision "a little bit ignorant" and argued that composers' work should not be overlooked.
- The Globes said the cut was due to time limits, later posting Göransson’s in‑room speech across their TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Threads and website.
- The telecast has recently made room for new categories such as Best Podcast, Best Stand‑up Comedian on Television, and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
- The move fueled industry pushback and comparisons to other shows, with Billboard noting the Critics Choice Awards also kept Best Original Score off-air this year.
