Hans Zimmer won the Best Original Film Score of the Year 2010 for his score of Inception. There is some controversy around that score, however, since much of the score consists of sound design (manipulating an old Edith Piaf recording) rather than composing.
Clint Mansell had led the nominations along with Desplat and Zimmer, but went away empty-handed.
Randy Newman won Best Original Song for "We Belong Together" from the animated feature Toy Story 3. Alex Heffes was named the Discovery of the Year for scoring The First Grader and The Rite, while the much-lauded A.R Rahman claimed the Public Choice Award for 127 Hours.
The awards ceremony was the closing event of the 38th Ghent International Film Festival. Attendees included Gabriel Yared (The Talented Mr. Ripley), Hans Zimmer (Inception), Elliot Goldenthal (Batman Forever), Giorgio Moroder (Scarface), Walter Murch (Apocalypse now), Alexandre Desplat (The King’s Speech), Alex Heffes (The First Grader and The Rite) and Abel Korzeniowski (previous Discovery of the Year with A Serious Man).
The concert was dedicated to the memory of slain publicist Ronni Chasen.
