Alexandre Desplat won his second BAFTA Award for his score for Wes Anderson’s THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL in the Original Music category, at the British Academy Film Awards ceremony at the Royal Opera House in London.
Desplat says; “Merci beaucoup. It all goes back to Wes. He’s unique, his world looks like nobody else’s. He’s not here tonight but I’m sure he’s watching TV… Well, I’m not sure, actually.”
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, which debuted a year ago at Berlinale, led the way with 11 nominations, followed by 10 by BIRDMAN and THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING.
The other nominees were: Antonio Sanchez for BIRDMAN, Hans Zimmer for INTERSTELLAR, Johann Johannsson for THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING and Mica Levi for UNDER THE SKIN.
Desplat, who was nominated five more times, won the BAFTA Award in 2011 for THE KING’S SPEECH. The composer is also up for an Academy Award for the score and is also nominated for his music for THE IMITATION GAME.
