  "summary": "Josh Hogan and Ned Beckley dominated the 2026 Screen Music Awards, securing four victories at the event held in Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Wednesday night. The West Australian composers were honored for their work on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s animated kid’s series Tales from Outer Suburbia, winning best music for children’s programming, best opening title television theme, best soundtrack album, and best original song composed for the screen alongside Joni Hogan. Their success was remarkable, as they won all four categories they were nominated for. Other notable winners included Adam Gock and Dinesh Wicks, who took home the award for most performed screen composer – Australia for the 12th time, and Helena Czajka, who went back-to-back in the best music for a documentary category, winning for Sentient. Finn Clarke was named emerging screen composer of the year. The event also saw first-time winners Benjamin Lam, Nicholas Gardiner, Georgina Darvidis, Matthew Sheers, and Peter Corrigan take home their respective awards. The prestigious ceremony was closed with a standing ovation for Cezary Skubiszewski, who was recognized with the distinguished services to the Australian screen award for his over three-decade-long career in the industry.",
