 French composer, Ludovic Bource, was awarded the 2012 Academy Award for the Best Original Score for the movie, "The Artist". This was his first time nominated for an Academy Award. He also was the recipient of the Best Original Score for a Motion Picture at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beerly Hilton in Beverly HIlls, CA on Sunday, January 15, 2012. Bource has already won a European Film Award and a BAFTA (the British Academy of Film and Television Arts). He was also named Breakout Composer of the Year in 2011 by the International Film Music Critic Association (IFMCA).Bource, 41, grew up in Brittany and from the age of eight played accordion at local dances and weddings. His first time in the spotlight happened when he played the accordion on stage at a Bastille Day Ball in his native Brittany. At the age of 17, he switched to the piano and studied classical piano at the conservatoire with Anne Magadur and at 18 he began to study jazz.
