- A master of movie music. Born in 1961, Desplat dreamed of becoming a film composer from an early age and scored his first film at 25. He has since risen to Hollywood's A-list with scores for numerous hits, including his Oscar-winning 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and ''The King's Speech' - for which he won a BAFTA.
