Ludwig Göransson Wins His Second Oscar for ‘Oppenheimer’ Score


Composer Ludwig Göransson won his second Oscar, picking up an Academy Award for the music of 'Oppenheimer.'

He wrote a violin theme of, he said, “haunting loneliness” for the title character and added synthesizers for the “impending doom” of the A-bomb tests. Göransson’s careful choices of assignment and tendency to immerse himself deeply in any single project have made him among the most sought-after of current composers.
