Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scored not one but two Best Original Score Oscar nominations this morning, for “Mank” and “Soul.” Those films, along with their score for the HBO series “Watchmen,” wrap up a string of “pretty disparate projects” for Reznor and Ross, and while the pair said the nominations are “humbling” and “flattering,” they’re really just itching for one thing: getting back in front of crowds to perform as Nine Inch Nails.
