The Society Of Composers & Lyricists: The 7th Annual Scl Awards® Banquet & Ceremony

Step into an unforgettable evening celebrating the art and craft of music across film, television, interactive media, and musical theater. The Society of Composers & Lyricists invites you to witness the 7th Annual SCL Awards® Banquet & Ceremony on February 6, 2026, at Los Angeles’s Skirball Cultural Center. Honoring the best original scores, songs, and overall musical achievements, this gala will also mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic Rocky franchise with a spectacular tribute. The Rocky tribute promises a live orchestral celebration conducted by legendary composer Bill Conti, who has scored five films in the series and co‑wrote the Academy‑Award‑nominated “Gonna Fly Now” with lyricists Carol Connors and Ayn Robbins. The ceremony, hosted by the charismatic Bacon Brothers—actor‑musician Kevin Bacon and composer‑musician Michael Bacon—will feature a special performance by Melissa Manchester and showcase nominees who have since earned Oscars and BAFTAs. Highlights include five composers nominated for both Academy and British awards, the Oscar‑nominated “Golden” by EJAE and Mark Sonnenblick, Diane Warren’s “Dear Me,” and Raphael Saadiq & Ludwig Göransson’s “I Lied to You.” The Soul of Collaboration Award will honor the enduring partnership of Ludwig Göransson and director Ryan Coogler, creators behind the Oscar‑winning score of *Black Panther* and the record‑setting accolades for *Sinners*. Join us for a night of musical triumphs, legendary performances, and an inside look at the creators who are shaping the soundtrack of our culture.
