‘Dark Knight Rises’ and ‘Hunger Games’ earn 2013 Grammy Awards nominations

They topped the box office, and now they may take home Grammys: “The Hunger Games” and “The Dark Knight Rises” have both earned nominations for the 55th annual music awards show.

The Batman franchise film and its score composer Hans Zimmer got a nod for best score soundtrack; it shares the category with Academy Award winners and industry vets like John Williams (“The Adventures of Tintin”) and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”).

“The Hunger Games” yielded two nods for Best Song Written For Visual Media: Arcade Fire’s “Abraham’s Daughter” and Taylor Swift with the Civil Wars’ “Safe & Sound.” Another toast of the nominations night Mumford & Sons are in the same category, for “Learn Me Right” with Birdy in animated flick “Brave.”

Best Compilation noms went to a varied list, from the ensemble musical “Rock of Ages” to Bret McKenzie-penned tunes for “The Muppets” to documentary “Marley” to 2011 Oscar faves “The Descendants” and “Midnight in Paris.”
