BAFTA Award for Best Original Music

The BAFTA Award for Best Original Music, formerly known as the Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music, is a film award that is presented to film composers by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. It has been presented annually at the British Academy Film Awards since 1968.
With seven wins out of sixteen 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. Morricone also has the highest perfect score and record, with six wins from six nominations. George Fenton and Howard Shore share the record of most nominations without a win.
Only six composers—John Williams, Vangelis, Maurice Jarre, Hans Zimmer, and the composing duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross —have received two nominations in the same year. In 2019, Lady Gaga became the first woman ever to win this award for A Star Is Born. In 2020, Hildur Guðnadóttir became the first woman ever credited for a solo win in this category for Joker. In 2022, Hans Zimmer won this award on his tenth nomination for Dune, setting the record for most nominations in this category before the first win.
