Last night, we named composer @TheodoreShapiro a BMI Icon at our #BMIFilmTVAwards. Shapiro received this prestigious award for his outstanding body of work in some of the most culturally defining films and TV series over the last 25 years. During the ceremony, we also celebrated the composers behind the previous year’s top-grossing films, top-rated primetime network television series, and highest-ranking cable and streaming programs, including Sinners (scored by @LudwigG öransson), Tyler Perry’s Straw (scored by @DaraTaylormusic ), Win or Lose (scored by @RaminDjawadi_official ), and many more.📽️🎶
