The 64-year-old composer of such classic movie scores as Forrest Gump, Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit scored all 13 hours of Cosmos, his first weekly-series gig since scoring CHiPs in the early 1980s. These were his first Emmy nominations in a 40-year career of writing music for films and TV. He thanked members of the production and music team including, he said, "the voice of Neil DeGrasse Tyson," an in-joke for those who had heard him talk about how important host Tyson's performance had been in leading him in the right musical direction for each episode. ![]() Michael Price ![]() Don Was ![]() Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda A two-hour condensed version of Saturday's Creative Arts show will air at 8 p.m. (Eastern and Pacific) Sunday, Aug. 24, on FXM; the entire three-and-a-half-hour show will be streamed as part of the Backstage Live! show on emmys.com at 12 noon Pacific (3 p.m. Eastern) on Monday, Aug. 25.
