World Soundtrack Awards 2010

Abel Korzeniowski has been awarded “Public Choice” and “Discovery Of The Year” at the World Soundtrack Awards ceremony in Ghent, Belgium.

The Discovery Of The Year 2010 statuette was presented by Gustavo Santaolalla, a two-time Oscar Winner and Discovery Of The Year recipient himself (2004). Previous years winners include Klaus Badelt, Antonio Pinto, Craig Armstrong and Michael Giacchino.
