This is Rogers’ ninth CAS Award nomination. He won a CAS Award in 2010 for Into the Blue 2: The Reef. He is also a 4-time Emmy Award nominee. This is Weber’s fourth CAS Award nomination. He is a 6-time Emmy Award nominee, including a win in 2008 for the television series Lost. The 53rd CAS Awards will be presented February 18th in Los Angeles.
Westworld, which just completed its first season on HBO, is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. The show’s sound team plays a significant role in conjuring up its unique worlds. Rogers and Weber were tasked with building soundtracks that include, on the one hand, steam locomotives, horses and gunfights, and, on the other, a vast industrial complex where engineers tinker with robots. Rogers and Weber previously collaborated with Westworld co-creator and executive producer Jonathan Nolan on the series Person of Interest.
