Trent Reznor Overwhelmed by Golden Globe Nomination for 'Social Network' Score

When Trent Reznor signed on to score 'The Social Network,' he was excited to take the challenge of taking his music to the silver screen. But the Nine Inch Nails frontman never expected that his efforts would actually nab him a Golden Globe nomination.

"When I took this project on it wasn't even in my realm of my awareness that this could happen," he told Variety. "When you're working you lose objectivity. Watching the reaction has been overwhelming and I am taking some kind of pride that this industry has accepted the film and my score."

Reznor, who's nominated with Atticus Ross for the 'The Social Network,' will be up against some past Golden Globe winners: Alexandre Deslpat for 'The King's Speech,' A. R. Rahman for '127 Hours' and Hans Zimmer for 'Inception.' Previous nominee Danny Elfman is also up for his work on 'Alice in Wonderland.' Calling that strong competition would be a massive understatement.

The Golden Globes air Jan. 16 on ABC.
