Deadline is reporting that Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams have been set to supervise the music for the 84th Academy Awards ceremony next February. They will be serving as music consultants, which will be the first time both of them are involved in the production of the awards show. Brian Grazer and Don Mischer are producing next year’s ceremony. Grazer has worked Zimmer on several movies, including Frost/Nixon, The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons. Zimmer has announced a few months ago that he will be sitting out as a contender at this year’s Oscar race despite having a number of qualifying movies, including Rango and the upcoming Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Zimmer has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and has received the award once in 1995 for The Lion King. Williams has co-scored last year’s animation hit Despicable Me, which marked his film scoring debut. The 84th Academy Awards will be airing on February 26, 2012 on ABC.
