Composers with Multiple My Academy Award Wins (Score)

by jmpatison003 • Created 12 years ago • Modified 12 years ago
This is a list of the composers that have had the fortune to win multiple scoring awards from me. In other words, they are what I would describe as consummate composers. That said, many of the composers who have won just one of my awards are brilliant composers, but they have either not done enough great film score or they are just unlucky as far as in which year they have released their score.
