Composer Alexandre Desplat is one of the most highly sought after composers in Hollywood. He s been nominated for five Academy Awards, six Golden Globes, winning for his score for The Painted Veil, and has two Grammy nominations. He is best known for his contemplative style that does not attempt to respond on a point-by-point basis to the action onscreen, but rather sets its own complimentary mood. Desplat has composed the scores for many recent blockbusters including "The King's Speech," "The Queen," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Monuments Men," "Syriana," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Argo," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" Parts 1 & 2, "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" and "Fantastic Mr. Fox." "The Imitation Game" is based on the real life story of legendary English cryptanalyst and mathematician Alan Turing. The film portrays the nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant team of code-breakers at Britain's top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II.
