Each year the International Film Music Critics Association announces its awards. It was the second year that Soundtrack World was involved in the voting process. We announced the nominations two weeks ago, but now it is time to announce the winners, with Bear McCreary taking most of the awards, including Score of the Year and Composer of the Year.
