Gravity won best original score for a Nottingham musician
Nottingham composer Steven Price has won a Best Original Score Academy Award for his work on the blockbuster Gravity.
He has already won the Original Music award for his score in the film at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards held two weeks ago.
The 36-year-old thanked his family in his speech, joking: "Mum, Dad, Jenny sorry I made so much noise while I was growing up."
Speaking backstage after the ceremony he said: "My house was full of music, my main memories are of the record player at home, it was all Beatles and Stones and we danced around the living room, that started me off on instruments and I've done nothing else ever since."
Best Original Score was one of seven oscars for Gravity, a film starring American actors Sandra Bullock and George Clooney but produced in the UK.
