Black Swan: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack marks the fifth consecutive collaboration between Aronofsky and English composer Clint Mansell. Mansell attempted to score the film based on Tchaikovsky's ballet, but with radical changes to the music. Because of the use of Tchaikovsky's music, the score was deemed ineligible to be entered into the 2010 Academy Awards for Best Original Score.

starts with Portman, playing a fragile ballerina in a prestigious New York company. She’s dedicated her entire life to the pursuit of her art, enabled by an overly protective mother (Barbara Hershey) who gave up her own dancing career to become a parent. Kept in a state of perpetual childhood, Portman’s Nina yearns to show the world what she can do. Black Swan may not see an equal this year, and if there’s any justice in the world, it will reap the rewards well past this awards season.
