Golubić was twice nominated for Grammy awards for producing Volumes 1 and 2 of the Six Feet Under soundtrack album.
Last month, Golubić won Best Music Supervision in a Television Drama for Breaking Bad at the 4th Annual Guild of Music Supervisor Awards and, most recently, earned two spots on Flavorwire’s “10 Career-Changing Music Moments in the Last 10 Years of TV,” which included the use of Sia’s “Breathe Me” in the final scene of Six Feet Under.
