2013 Reel Music Awards – The Nominees

2013 Reel Music Awards

Can there be too many awards given out for soundtracks? I hope not! In what is the first Reel Music Awards I aim to shine a light on the scores released in 2013 and which I have found particularly noteworthy. Whether it is music composed for film, TV of video games that received a release in 2013 or for pre-2013 titles that received a release in 2013, these awards aim to celebrate soundtracks.
