Antonio Sanchez, who composed the score for the multiple Oscar award winning film undefinedwas sad when he was snubbed at the 2015 Oscars award ceremony.

On Monday, February 15, 2016, Sanchez won the "Score soundtrack for visual media" at 2016 Grammy awards.

Speaking backstage, he said “It’s awesome to get this, especially after being nixed by the Oscars. I have to thank this academy, because the other academy, I have nothing to thank them for. So it’s extra sweet."

Sanchez beat Alexandre Desplat (“The Imitation Game”), Hans Zimmer (“Interstellar”), Johann Johannsson (“The Theory of Everything”), and Justin Hurwitz (“Whiplash”) to emerge the winner.

Alexandre Desplat's “The Grand Budapest Hotel” won the "score soundtrack for visual media" Grammy category last year.

ALSO:

"Glory" from "Selma," won "best song written for visual media," beating “Earned It” from “Fifty Shades of Grey," “Til It Happens to You” from “The Hunting Ground”, “Love Me Like You Do” from “Fifty Shades” and “See You Again” from “Furious 7.”
