The Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL) will honor Robbie Robertson and Martin Scorsese with the Spirit of Collaboration Award at the 5th Annual SCL Awards to be held Tuesday, Feb. 13 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
The event will be hosted by Siedah Garrett, a Grammy-winning, two-time Oscar-nominated songwriter and a member of the SCL. She recently reunited with Quincy Jones on THE COLOR PURPLE. She collaborated with Jones on Michael Jackson’s 1987 album “Bad,” including co-writing “Man in the Mirror” and duetting on “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.”
Awards are given for songs and scores in film and other visual media. The evening also includes performances, legendary composers, and songwriter presenters and special guests.
This year, the SCL Awards closely reflects the Oscar-nominated songwriters and composers including Billie Eilish & Finneas O’Connell (BARBIE), Mark Ronson & Andrew Wyatt (BARBIE), Jon Batiste & Dan Wilson (AMERICAN SYMPHONY), and Diane Warren (FLAMIN’ HOT). The composers who received both nominations include Ludwig Göransson (OPPENHEIMER), Laura Karpman (AMERICAN FICTION), and the late Robbie Robertson (KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON).
The Spirit of Collaboration Award recognizes a composer/director relationship which has created a prodigious body of work. Robertson and Scorsese’s collaborations over decades include RAGING BULL, SHUTTER ISLAND, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, SILENCE, THE IRISHMAN, and KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. Past award recipients include Thomas Newman & Sam Mendes, Terence Blanchard & Spike Lee, Carter Burwell & the Coen Brothers, and last year Justin Hurwitz & Damien Chazelle.
