Ο Τζον Γουίλιαμς & ο Λουντοβίκ Μπουρσέ στα International Film Music Critics Awards

Ο Τζον Γουίλιαμς είναι το πρόσωπο των υποψηφιοτήτων των International Film Music Critics Awards λαμβάνοντας 7 υποψηφιότητες, oi 2 μάλιστα στην κατηγορία του καλύτερου film score της χρονιάς Adventures of Tin Tin και War Horse.
Ήταν μια καλή χρονιά για τον βετεράνο μάέστρο, χρόνια η οποία θα ολοκληρωθεί με την διπλή παρουσία του στις υποψηφιότητες των όσκαρ και ίσως με το βραβείο αν καταφέρει να ξεπεράσει το εμπόδιο που ονομάζεται Λουντοβίκ Μπουρσέ, τον συνθέτη του The Artist. Ο Γάλλος μουσικοσυνθέτης ακολουθεί σε υποψηφιότητες στα IFMCA μαζεύοντας συνολικά 5. Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως στα καλύτερα film music scores of the year η 5άδα των IFMCA δεν περιλαμβάνει την οσκαρική υποψηφιότητα του Αλμπέρτο Ιγκλέσιας για το Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy αλλά το Greatest Miracle του Μάρκ Μακ Κένζι.

Η IFMCA δημιουργήθηκε το 1999 και αριθμεί πάνω από 50 μέλη, μουσικοκριτικοί και δημοσιογράφοι από την Ευρώπη και την Αμερική, και έχει σαν στόχο την ανάδειξη της κινηματογραφικής μουσικής. Απονέμει τα βραβεία της από το 2004. Τα προηγούμενα χρόνια έχουν διακριθεί ο Αλεξάντερ Ντεπλά, ο Τζον Γουίλιαμς, ο Ντάριο Μαριανέλλι. Περσινός νικητής αναδείχτηκε ο Τζον Πάουελ για το animation How to train your dragon.
