2012 International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) Awards - winners


The International Film Music Critics Association has announced the winners for their Eighth Annual IFMCA Awards.

John Williams dominated with his five wins. He was named Film Composer of the year for his work on both Steven Spielberg films, The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn and War Horse. His score for War Horse won Film Score of the Year, Best Original Score for a Drama Film and Film Music Composition of the Year ("The Homecoming") while The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn won for Best Original Score for an Animated Feature. He had led the field with seven nominations.

Michael Giacchino won for another Steven Spielberg film. The Spielberg-produced Super 8 by J.J. Abrams won for Best Original Score for a Fantasy/Science Fiction/Horror Film.

The Artist composer Ludovic Bource was the winner at the Golden Globes and is considered the frontrunner at the Academy Awards. His only win was for Breakout Composer of the Year.

Cliff Martinez won for Best Original Score for an Action/Adventure/Thriller Film with his score for Drive. He was a controversial exclusion from the Oscar nominations because his score contained too much pre-existing music to even qualify as one of the eligible scores under their regulations.

The International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) is an association of online, print and radio journalists who specialize in writing about original film and television music.
