LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Composers Hans Zimmer and Alexandre Desplat and songwriters/singers including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Billie Eilish and Jay-Z are among the artists looking to take home honors during tonight's presentation of the third annual Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards.

Eilish and Jay-Z are both nominated for best song in a drama/documentary -- Eilish for ``No Time to Die'' from the James Bond film of the same name, and Jay-Z for ``Guns Go Bang'' from ``The Harder They Fall.'' Diane Warren is nominated twice in the category, for ``Somehow You Do'' from ``Four Good Days'' and for ``(Never Gonna) Tame You'' from ``The Mustangs: America's Wild Horses,'' while Rufus Wainwright is nominated for ``Secret Sister from ``Rebel Hearts.''

The SCL Awards ceremony, hosted by Aloe Blacc, will be at the Skirball Cultural Center. The event was originally planned for Feb. 1 but was delayed due to surging COVID-19 cases.
During the show, composer Carter Burwell and filmmakers Joel & Ethan Coen will receive The Spirit of Collaboration Award, honoring their partnership on 17 films, including ``Raising Arizona,'' ``The Big Lebowski'' and ``No Country for Old Men.''
