He has won in 2006 a Cesar and the Berlinale Silver bear for his score to "The beat my heart skipped", the Golden Globe 2007 for The Painted Veil et has received 3 nominations at the Oscars in 2007 for "The Queen", in 2008 for "The Curious case of Benjamin Button" and in 2009 for "The Fantastic Mr. Fox".
