ADEWALE AKINNOUYE-ADBAJE: And the BAFTA goes to Ennio Morricone for The Hateful Eight.
Unfortunately Ennio cannot be here tonight, but he has sent the following message:
“I am sorry I cannot be there in person in London. I am conducting a concert in Dublin tonight, including the score for The Hateful Eight. My sincere thanks going to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for this honour. I want to thank Quentin Tarantino, the entire team and the Weinstein Company for having invited me to be a part of this film. Collaborations with great directors like Quentin have given me creative pleasure over the 55 years since I wrote the first film score. At 87 years old it is gratifying that my work is still deemed relevant. Thank you.”
