Steven Price has won his first Satellite Award in the Original Score category for his music for Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity at last night’s 18th Annual Satellite Awards ceremony at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Shortly before Price received the award, astronaut Richard Mastracchio tweeted, “I am watching the movie Gravity up here on ISS. Let’s call it training.” Astronauts aboard the International Space Station crew Expedition 38 Soyuz were given an opportunity to watch the film, fittingly making Price’s score the only Oscar-nominated score of to be heard in space. The other composers nominated in the Original Score category were Hans Zimmer for 12 Years a Slave, Alexandre Desplat for Philomena, Arcade Fire for Her, Theodore Shapiro for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and John Williams for The Book Thief.
