Scott, CDG for Avatar: Fire and Ash; Malgosia Turzanska, CDG for Hamnet; Paul Tazewell, CDG for Wicked: For Good; and Colleen Atwood, CDG for One Battle After Another.
Atwood has the distinction of scoring three nominations this year–One Battle After Another in the Contemporary Film Category; a shared nod in the Contemporary Television category with Mark Sutherland for the “Woe Me The Money” episode of Wednesday; and Lady Gaga’s “The Dead Dance” music video in the Short Form Design category.
