This year’s Emmy Gala, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, begins Monday night. But for five days before the big show, Emmy Awards have been awarded in the technical categories.
And in the last of the pre-galas, Ludwig Göransson received an award for original music from the “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian”.
– It feels great! This particular TV series is close to my heart and all of us who have worked with it have struggled a lot. So it’s fun that she now receives so much dividends and so much attention, she says.
The Emmy Gala is held, as most of the rest of this year’s galas, in digital format and without an audience.
– We had some friends and we sat and had a princess cake because my son is one year old, then someone suddenly called and said we had won an Emmy for “Mandalorian,” says Göransson from his home in California.
– A gala atmosphere may not be possible, it is very special. The last time I was at awards like this was two years ago with Oscars and Grammys and then you were there in the flesh. Everything feels different at the moment, it is difficult to navigate because everything is so new. But as long as you have people around you that you love, you’ll be fine, continues Göranson, who plans to follow the grand Emmy gala from the TV couch.
The night before Monday, the most important awards will be presented: the categories of actor, best drama, comedy, direction and screenplay and more. “The Mandalorian” was nominated for a total of 15 Emmy Awards, including Best Drama Series. At the time of writing this article, the television series has already won seven statuettes.
– I have worked very closely with Jon Favreau on this project and spent a lot of time getting the same energy and joy that you had when you saw the “Star Wars” movies for the first time, but with a new spirit, says Göransson.
Otherwise it is The HBO series “Watchmen,” which is most likely to win with a total of 26 nominations in several different categories, followed by Netflix’s “Ozark” and HBO’s “Succession,” which has 18 nominations each. Netflix has been nominated for a total of 160 awards, compared to HBO’s 106.
Ludwig Göransson has already won an Oscar for the score for the superhero movie “Black Panther” and three Grammy Awards, two of them for his work as a producer on Childish Gambino’s “This is America.”
With tonight’s Emmy, you’re just one Tony figure (the American theater industry’s equivalent of an Oscar) away from bringing home a so-called “EGOT” (an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony). , also called “the grand slam of show business”. But no theatrical project is relevant to Göransson at this time.
– We’ll see how it goes, right now Broadway and all the musicals are closed. It’s not something you’ve been thinking about right now, but you never know. For me it has more to do with projects, it doesn’t matter much in what genre it is.
