Jonny Greenwood has received a BAFTA nomination for his most recent soundtrack work.
The Radiohead guitarist’s soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson film “There Will Be Blood” is one of the five nominations in the Best Music category.
The soundtracks Greenwood is up against include Marc Streitenfeld’s music for “American Gangster” and Dario Marianelli’s soundtrack for “Atonement”.
In response to his nomination, Greenwood said: “I’m delighted, and very grateful to the BAFTA members who nominated me, to Paul Thomas Anderson for giving me the opportunity to collaborate with him on his amazing film and to the BBC Concert Orchestra for making the most of what I wrote.”
“There Will Be Blood” is Greenwood’s second full soundtrack work, following his music for 2003’s “Bodysong”.
The BAFTAs ceremony takes place on February 10 at London’s Royal Opera House.
