The 2018 Emmy for Best Music Composition for a Series could realistically go to any of the six shows nominated.

“It’s bittersweet,” admits composer Cindy O’Connor about her Emmy nomination for “Once Upon a Time.” She and fellow composer Michael D. Simon just earned their first ever nominations alongside past Emmy winner Mark Isham (“Ez Streets”), but it’s for the last ever season of the ABC fantasy series. “It’s great to get this kind of recognition,” she explains, “but it’s very sad to know that it’s not going to continue.” However, she takes solace in the show’s fan base, who have “been excited about the music all along.” Watch our exclusive video interview with O’Connor and Simon above.
