\t\t\t\t\tLudwig G\u00f6ransson Will Set These 6 Records If His \u2018Sinners\u2019 Score Wins an\u00a0Oscar\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

<\/time><\/p><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tIn his acceptance speech, the composer reflected on how his path to a career in music began. \u201cMy dad bought his first blues album in Sweden 1964. It was a John Lee Hooker album. \u2026 The music was so powerful that it changed my dad\u2019s life and he devoted his life to music,\u201d he shared. \u201cWhen I was 7, he put a guitar in my arms \u2026 it was the guitar that opened up a lot of doors for me \u2026 brought me to the States, and led me to one of the great storytellers of our time, Ryan Coogler. Ryan, thank you for your vision. Thank you for making a movie that resonated with the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCoogler directed both Black Panther<\/em> and Sinners<\/em>. G\u00f6ransson is the first composer to win two Oscars for best original score working in tandem with the same director since Howard Shore, who won for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em> in 2002 and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King<\/em> in 2004, both directed by Peter Jackson.<\/p>\n

\n\tG\u00f6ransson\u2019s Sinners<\/em> score had previously won at the Critics Choice Awards, the Golden Globes and the Grammys, among others.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis year\u2019s other Oscar nominees for best original score were Jerskin Fendrix for Bugonia<\/em>, Alexandre Desplat for Frankenstein<\/em>, Max Richter for Hamnet<\/em> and Jonny Greenwood for One Battle After Another<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tA sign of G\u00f6ransson\u2019s dominance this year is that he was the only composer who was nominated for both best original score and best original song. He shared a song nod with Raphael Saadiq for \u201cI Lied to You\u201d from Sinners<\/em>. Another sign: This marked the first time that G\u00f6ransson was nominated for both best original score and best original song in the same year.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere are five other records G\u00f6ransson set:<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst composer in nearly two decades to win two best original score Oscars in the space of three years<\/strong>
He\u2019s the first composer to make it back to the winners podium this quickly since Gustavo Santaolalla won back-to-back Oscars in 2006 and 2007 with Brokeback Mountain<\/em> and Babel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecond-youngest composer in Oscar history to win three Oscars in scoring categories<\/strong>
G\u00f6ransson is just 41. The only composer who was even younger upon winning his third scoring Oscar was Andr\u00e9 Previn, who was 35 in 1964 when he won his third Oscar for Irma LaDouce<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecond composer to go 3-0 in scoring categories<\/strong>
G\u00f6ransson is the first composer to win on his first three nominations in scoring categories since Alan Menken, who won on his first four scoring nominations \u2013 The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin<\/em> and Pocahantas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThird living composer with three or more scoring Oscars<\/strong>
G\u00f6ransson is the 16th composer to win three or more Oscars in scoring categories, but most of them are no longer living. The only other three-time winners who are still living are John Williams, 94, who has won five scoring Oscars, and Alan Menken, 76, who has won four.<\/p>\n

\n\tFourth person born in Sweden to win three Oscars (in any category)<\/strong>
G\u00f6ransson is the fourth person who was born in Sweden to win three Oscars. The first three were actress Ingrid Bergman; sound and sound effects editor Per Hallberg; and sound editor and mixer Paul N.J. Ottosson.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirector Ingmar Bergman directed three films that won the Oscar for best foreign film, but the only Oscar he personally won was an Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1970.<\/p>\n
