"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" named World Soundtrack Awards winner October 21, 2012 - 16:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Alberto Iglesias' music for the espionage film "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" was named the year's best film score at the World Soundtrack Awards 2012 on Saturday, October 21 in Ghent, Belgium. Iglesias was also named Film Composer of the Year for "TTSS" and two other scores, "The Skin I Live In" and "Le Moine," TheWrap said. Because the World Soundtrack Awards do not adhere to a calendar-year eligibility period, many of the honored films were actually released in late 2011. Other winners included Bryan Byrne (Discovery of the Year, and Best Original Song for "Lay Your Head Down" from "Albert Nobbs") and Albel Korzeniowski (Public Choice Award for his score for Madonna's much-maligned "W.E."). The ceremony took place on the closing night of the Ghent Film Festival, and included the presentation of a World Soundtrack Lifetime Achievement Award to composer Pino Donaggio. During and after the ceremony, the Brussels Philharmonic performed film music by a variety of composers. The Ghent Film Festival also announced its winners, which included Miguel Gomes' "Tabu" and Olivier Assayas' "Apres Mai."
