Timeline
He is the only individual to be nominated for an Academy Award in each of the last six decades: the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
In 1953, he was doing scores for such notorious ultra-low-budget films as the infamous Robot Monster (1953) and Cat-Women of the Moon (1953). Only three years later, he was doing the score for Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956).
Elmer Bernstein was educated at the Walden School and New York University. He served in the US Army Air Corps in World War II. A prolific and respected film music composer, he was a protégé of Aaron Copland, who studied music with Roger Sessions and Stefan Wolpe. Bernstein worked in various artistic endeavors, including painting and the theatre and also performed as an actor and dancer. Among his early composition work were scores for United Nations radio programs and television and industrial documentaries. His original scores for films range over an enormous variety of styles, with his groundbreaking jazz score for The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), light musical comedies such as his Oscar-winning Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) score, and perhaps his most familiar score, for the western The Magnificent Seven (1960).
Vice-President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) from 1963 - 1969.
He was nominated for Academy Awards 14 times but won only once, ironically for one of his less acclaimed scores - Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967).
Was nominated for three Tony Awards: two in 1968 for "How Now, Dow Jones". as Best Composer and Lyricist, with his collaborator Carolyn Leigh, and for his music as part of a Best Musical nomination; and in 1983 for "Merlin", as Best Score, his music with lyrics by Don Black.
In his scores, especially in the 1980s, he often used the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument, invented in France in 1928. Its ethereal singing sound can be prominently heard, for example, on My Left Foot (1989) and Ghostbusters (1984).
Bernstein wrote unused scores for Last Man Standing (1996), The Journey of Natty Gann (1985), The Scarlet Letter (1995) and Gangs of New York (2002). All have been released on CD.
