TRENT REZNOR Talks 'Social Network' GOLDEN GLOBE Nomination (Video)
December 15, 2010Trent Reznor's score for Facebook flick "The Social Network" was nominated for a Golden Globe in the "Best Original Score for a Motion Picture" category. Reznor and English composer Atticus Ross (who co-wrote the score) are up against previous winner A.R. Rahman's ("Slumdog Millionaire") score for "127 Hours", Danny Elfman's music for Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland", Hans Zimmer's score for "Inception" and Alexander Desplot's score for "The King's Speech".
In an interview with PBS' Tavis Smiley (see video below),Reznor said he initially turned down director David Fincher's offer to score the film. "It took a long time in the '90s to get my act together," he said. "Jump ahead to this past decade and I got sober and I worked on myself and the act of creativity became something I looked forward to now instead of dreading."
He added: "At the time when fame presented itself to me, I was not at a point in my own life where I was equipped to deal with it. I had a built-in sense of not being good enough that I've carried with me from wherever it's come from, and an easy way to fit in was to self-medicate... Twenty years into making music, the soundtrack has been a breath of fresh air."
The Golden Globe Awards will be handed out January 16 in Beverly Hills, California.
