LOS ANGELES: Justin Hurwitz, composer of La La Land won two Oscars on Sunday.

Taking the stage at the Hollywood gala, Hurwitz saluted the actors and musicians in La La Land and said he wrote the score with them in mind.

He won the award for best original score in a field that included music from Moonlight, and the best original song City of Stars, a duet between La La Land stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.

He previously won two Golden Globes for his work in this movie.

While talking to media, he said, “It’s a dream for a composer to create music that can help resolve a story in as fundamental a way as it does in this movie.”

Hurwitz added that he worked exhaustively to come up with a melody to carry La La Land recording more than 1,900 demos on the piano.
