ASCAP Composers Dominate 2008 Primetime Emmy Award



ASCAP members continued to take home the music industry’s top honors as the 2008 Creative Arts Primetime Emmy awards were announced Saturday, September 13, 2008 at the Nokia Theatre Live in Los Angeles. For his theme to Pirate Master, composer Russ Landau received the Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music. Mark Watters was awarded for his Outstanding Music Direction for his work on Movies Rock. ASCAP songwriters Sarah Silverman and Dan Warner took home the award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics for the song “I’m F***ing Matt Damon” which was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Composer Jim Dooley, a former ASCAP Television & Film Scoring Workshop participant, was presented an Emmy Award for his music for the ABC series Pushing Daisies. This marks the second year in a row that an ASCAP workshop alum has been awarded a statue and cements ASCAP’s role in the development of career composers. ASCAP is immensely proud of all our winners.
