      people forget how dead in the water (pun intended) the pirate genre was before Pirates of the Caribbean. Cutthroat Island had been the last big pirate movie and its one of the biggest flops in history.

    My favorite score he ever created was for Interstellar, it played such a big role in this movie. The way he let his music tell the story, with time ticking by, emotions flowing in the tunes and the swelling whenever there’s a huge reveal, I absolutely love that. And the combination of instruments he used is just so creative and amazing. I think the score for that movie is so underrated and should definitely get more recognition, because they made that movie what it is and the soundtrack is one of the biggest reasons I get back to Interstellar every time I open Netflix. The story was a masterpiece and it’s value was doubled by the beautiful score.

Many people identified as Germans. Example: during and for a short time after the war against Napoleon Austrians called themselves German. Mozart was Bavarian and German.
      Nowadays his place of birth is in Austria but that doesn't change Mozart's history.

      I think the award is meant to honor the score that best served the film and I think that HZ's music is very selfish and it's like he's telling the story his own way. Personally I think the movie and music are masterpieces but they feel like two great separate masterpieces. I don't know if that makes sense, anyway that score could probably bring an MMA fighter to tears so they could have given him the award anyway
