Brothers Darius Marder and Abraham Marder have earned their first Academy Award nominations for their script to “Sound of Metal,” which explores the journey of a heavy-metal drummer who loses his hearing and must learn to begin a new life as a deaf person. The idea actually stemmed from an unfinished documentary on the subject by Darius’ friend, filmmaker Derek Cianfrance, who has also earned a nomination for his co-story credit on the Best Original Screenplay nominee.
The trio will now be competing with Aaron Sorkin‘s historical drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” Emerald Fennell‘s genre-bending “Promising Young Woman,” Lee Isaac Chung‘s family memory piece “Minari” as well as “Judas and the Black Messiah,” written by Will Berson and Shaka King.
