The International Film Music Critics Association announces its awards each year. These awards are important to Soundtrack World because we are involved in selecting the nominees and winners, and we have been doing so for the fifth time. After announcing the nominations two weeks ago, it is time to announce the winners, with being the big winner. If you are curious about my personal favorites, I announced my eSWay Awards last week.
You can find all the winners below, and if you want more information about these awards and their winners, you can read more about them in full detail in the official press release or watch the video at the bottom of this page.
