The Hollywood Foreign Press marks the passing of a unique musical talent, and two-time Golden Globe honoree.

James Horner, the film composer known for his scores for Field of Dreams, Braveheart and Titanic among others, has died in a plane crash near Santa Barbara. Horner, aged 61, was nominated eight times for Golden Globes, winning in 1998 for co-composing the song "My Heart Will Go On" for Titanic.

But there was no competition.

The Lobster by Greek iconoclast Yorgos Lanthimos won the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The film, which was acquired for distribution by Alchemy, marks the latest success in the director’s singular canon of the absurd.
