Renowned composer Hans Zimmer has criticized the Golden Globe Awards for removing the Best Original Score category from the main telecast, calling the decision "ignorant" and a "shame." Speaking on the red carpet, Zimmer emphasized the crucial role composers play in filmmaking, stating, "you don't have a movie without them." He highlighted the irony of the exclusion in a year noted for strong musical scores and described the last-minute decision as a slight to dedicated artists who work tirelessly.
