NEW YORK (AP) — Alexandre Desplat, who won his first Oscar this year, will receive the BMI Icon Award next month.
The French composer will be honored at the 2015 Film & Television Awards on May 13 in Beverly Hills, California, Broadcast Music Inc. announced Wednesday. Desplat won the Academy Award for best original score for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" in February.
