Since the TV academy began regularly honoring original music scores in the 1960s, there has essentially always been a clear distinction between compositions for continuing and limited series. The Best Music for Limited Series Emmy category was established early on in order to adequately recognize the music behind single-season or one-off scripted programs apart from traditional comedy and drama series. This year’s five contenders are about as eclectic as can be, with plots that collectively span multiple centuries and continents.
The current Best Music for Limited Series nominees are “1883” (Paramount+), “Moon Knight” (Disney+), “Station Eleven” (HBO Max), “A Very British Scandal” (Prime Video) and “The White Lotus” (HBO). To determine which one is most likely to take the gold, let’s take a look at each score individually. Be sure to make your Emmy predictions in this and 26 other Creative Arts categories by September 3.

When composers are struggling on a piece, sometimes all it takes is one simple directive or another set of eyes — or ears, rather — to help them crack it. For “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” composers Thomas Mizer and Curtis Moore, everything became crystal clear when Amy Sherman-Palladino told them that the Harry Belafonte song they had to write should be a wedding toast, not a pop hit. The duo hails from the theater world, where often complete strangers help them unlock pieces.
“One of the things that we get the option of doing that’s so different from working in TV and film is that… we get to present it in front of an audience at a preview,” Mizer tells Gold Derby at our Meet the Experts: Composers panel group discussion with fellow Emmy nominees Brian Tyler (“1883”), Siddhartha Khosla (“Only Murders in the Building”), Christopher Willis (“Schmigadoon!“) and Theodore Shapiro...

After “Yellowstone” composers Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian came on board to score “1883,” the first limited series prequel in the Yellowstone-verse, creator Taylor Sheridan sent them the scripts. “It’s this really amazing, dark, stark epic tale that is the origins of kind of the growing period of America and for all of its dreams and nightmares,” Tyler tells Gold Derby at our Meet the Experts: Composers panel (watch the exclusive video interview above). “I loved it. The screenplay was very engaging, very emotional. And so I set out to write this music that really echoed the story, but also the tone.”
Starring Sam Elliott, Isabel May, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Lamonica Garrett, “1883” follows the origins of the Dutton family — McGraw plays James Dutton, the great-grandfather of Kevin Costner‘s John Dutton on “Yellowstone” — as they travel west from Tennessee. Because of that trek, Tyler did not...

Brian Tyler has composed music for films including “Iron Man 3” and “Crazy Rich Asians,” but perhaps his most enduring work is the music of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, which has his stamp on five of the previous films in the massive hit series.
He’s back for another ride with “F9: The Fast Saga,” along with director Justin Lin. The two joined the series together for 2006’s “Tokyo Drift.” This outing sees Lin take the film back to its central theme of family.
On the surface, while international espionage, cars, planes and even outer space propel the action, the wall-to-wall music centers on the characters, through a complex string of themes. The advantage, Tyler says, in scoring six of the franchise’s nine films is the ability to tap into those recurring motifs.

“There’s something about the dark side that is very intriguing to us as human beings,” declares composer Brian Tyler about the appeal of Paramount Network’s hit neo-western “Yellowstone.” He adds, “There’s something fascinating to be put in the shoes of someone where it’s normally the ‘hero’ character, but you are just struggling sometimes to support the character you’re associating yourself with in a way.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Tyler above.

One of my favorite activities is to go with a few friends and do an Escape the Room game. I’ve done them in multiple states across the country, and even done one in Dubai. They’re an absolute blast. So, despite the iffy Trailer and troubling release date, I was looking forward to Escape Room. Maybe it could surprise? I’d even heard a bit of positive buzz. Then, earlier this week…I saw it. Alas. This is a standard issue garbage January release, truly meant to be dumped. In fact, even though it’s early, I wouldn’t be surprised at all for it to end up in 12 months gracing my Bottom Ten list for 2019. This film is a horror/thriller hybrid that mixes in adventure concepts. A cold open shows us one unlucky individual in Ben (Logan Miller) desperately trying to escape a room with its walls literally closing in.

Can “Crazy Rich Asians” become the rare romantic comedy to snag a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars? The box office hit about an Asian-American woman, Rachel (Constance Wu), traveling to Singapore to meet her boyfriend Nick’s (Henry Golding) insanely wealthy family could pull off a neat hat trick after scoring top nominations at the SAG Awards and Golden Globes. Gold Derby recently spoke with stars Wu, Golding and Michelle Yeoh, screenwriter Adele Lim, and composer Brian Tyler about their work on the film.
Because Wu’s character “grew up in a place where her face was not the dominant culture” the actress believes “it’s crucial to plot and to story that she goes to a place that she thinks she’ll belong, but then she doesn’t.” The film explores “identity as Asian-Americans and what it means when you don’t feel like you completely belong in America,...

“I had never thought in a million years I’d get a chance to write for my people,” Adele Lim tells Gold Derby in an exclusive interview (watch above) about adapting “Crazy Rich Asians.” Lim notes that not only is the novel by Kevin Kwan upon which the film is based “an authentic story about the culture,” but one with a “sense of joy.” She elaborates, “There’s a lot of amazing Asian-American literature telling a lot of important stories that need to be out there, but a lot of them can be really heavy and it’s not so much the lighter romp we are looking for and for this one, it just felt like it was joyous.”
SEEour video interview with film composer Brian Tyler.
Nominated for two Golden Globes (Best Comedy/Musical and Best Comedy/Musical Actress for Constance Wu), “Crazy Rich Asians” is actually Lim’s first feature screenplay.

Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone” is looking to change the stereotypical representation of Native Americans on its show, forgoing the usual whooping savage portrayal, according to Crow Nation tribal chairman Aj Not Afraid, who allowed the show to be filmed on his reservation. He described the series to be a more honest, accurate portrayal of the modern American Indian that we’ve seen before.
“Our perception had always been more stereotypical, but here the folks at the show came out and reckoned the terrain and the people, and they got a better taste of the native side,” Not Afraid told Variety at the series premiere held at the Paramount Theatre on Monday.
“Yellowstone,” which premieres June 20, is a modern-day western about a ranching family struggling to protect its land from land developers, an energy company and a Native American reservation.

Reimagining the five boroughs as a graffiti-coated war zone, Walter Hill's 1979 cult classic The Warriors made stars out of a group of unknowns and minted a confirmed midnight-movie hit. Decades later, diehard fans still congregate to quote dialogue and celebrate this punk artifact on Coney Island – and in a new exclusive video, Rolling Stone sat down with original Warriors Cleon, Swan, Vermin, Cochise, and more to look back on the film's legacy as it nears the 40-year mark.

Before gearing up for Marvel’s two-part Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo have signed on to develop a TV remake of The Warriors at Paramount and Hulu.
That’s according to Deadline, confirming that the hour-long drama series will offer a new, seralized spin on Walter Hill’s cult classic that released all the way back in 1979 – itself a big-screen take on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel of the same name. No director is currently attached to the project, though the outlet assures that the Russo brothers plan to “honor the original film while adding its own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex and violence.”
Set against a New York City on the brink of social revolt, The Warriors chronicles a raging turf war that spans from Coney Island to the Bronx and everywhere in between. Michael Beck, James Remar, Dorsey Wright and Brian Tyler...

Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The Warriors – no other movie of the Seventies captured New York City quite like this gritty, visceral, gang drama did when it premiered in February of 1979, making The Big Apple look not only rotten to the core, but also possibly – gloriously -- like the most dangerous city in the world. For those of you who remember the movie when it first premiered in '79, it made a lasting impact that was both exhilirating and terrifying, summed up in one of the most widely quoted lines in movie history: Warriors.....come out and plaaaayeeeaaaayyy!
