Moonlight score is as stylistically surprising and emotionally piercing as the film itself — which is truly a masterpiece. – Joe Lynch, Billboard

Composer Nicholas Britell was blown away upon learning he received an Academy Award® nomination for his Moonlight score: “My brain is nonfunctional.”  On a phone interview with Billboard recently, Nicholas spoke of his Shake Shack-fueled early sessions with director Barry Jenkins (full story at Billboard).  We are rooting for Nicholas and the entire Moonlight team.  You can tune in to the Oscars telecast on Sunday, February 26 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET on ABC.
