Ever been curious as to how your favourite composers have made it at the Oscars? Here is a selective list of film composers and their Academy Award™-merits. There may be errors and glaring omissions, and the list is far from complete, so if you know of any additions, please let me know! Thanks!

"One-timers" are temporarily excluded (because I'm too lazy!), which means only composers that have been nominated/won at least TWICE, are listed.

Awards are highlighted in yellow (= "the golden statuette"), while nominations are in normal green.
