Daniel Blumberg Wins Oscar for Best Original Score for 'The Brutalist'

The British composer, recognized for his avant-garde style, takes home his first Academy Award for Brady Corbet's Holocaust-inspired architectural drama.

Daniel Blumberg, a first-time Oscar nominee, won Best Original Score for 'The Brutalist' at the 2025 Academy Awards.
The film, directed by Brady Corbet, tells the story of a fictional Hungarian architect who survived the Holocaust and shaped a new architectural style in the United States.
Blumberg's score, blending jazz, brass, and percussion, was praised for its emotional depth and its role in conveying the protagonist's inner struggles.
Blumberg, a former indie rock musician, also won a BAFTA for the same score, marking his second major accolade for the project.
'The Brutalist' received multiple nominations at this year's Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, and also won Best Cinematography.
