Justin Paul Scores Again

Posted on January 8, 2018 | 3 Comments

The hits just keep on comin’!

2003 Staples High School graduate Justin Paul and his writing partner Benj Pasek snagged yet another honor  at last night’s Golden Globes.

The pair won “Best original song, motion picture” for “This Is Me,” from “The Greatest Showman.”

The “La La Land” and “Dear Evan Hansen” songwriters beat stiff competition. Other contenders included “Home” from “Ferdinand,” “Mighty River” music from “Mudbound,” “Remember Me” from “Coco” and “The Star” from the movie of the same name.

Oscar nominations will be announced January 23.
