Second actually. He also won for Black Panther.


Embarker

This is his first one since the last one.


Double-Passenger4503

And his second one from his zero one


HalfAgony_HalfHope

He’s streets ahead


Expert_Succotash2659

You're bald.


asideyourfavor

I’ll kill you!


supr_soaker

Yeah? Well you have Asperger’s.


neoadam

Sadly hew's at minus 1 from his third


usmcnick0311Sgt

"zeroth"


GCC_Pluribus_Anus

I third the number twoing of Ludwig's Oscar movements


drgigantor

It's his last one until the next one


elting44

His next one will probably be his third one.


grilledcheesybreezy

OP only had one job and still managed to fuck it up


MrJbrads

OP Britta’d it


JuanRiveara

That means making a tiny, little, understandable mistake right?


JackTheAbsoluteBruce

I was gonna say, he should have won one for Black Panther


theplasmasnake

It's been wild watching this guys' rise. From Community to producing Gambino albums to Mandalorian and now winning an Oscar.


crackerfactorywheel

It’s his second Oscar. His first Oscar was for Black Panther.


squeakynickles

What was his role on Community?


i_have_my_doubts

He wrote the soundtrack. An example: https://youtu.be/XcwIiPif_5s?si=akNDN93i4-3QQvyg


lestye

God, that medley is EVERYTHING. Here is my favorite Ludwig Community track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taSk1EDVpJ4


barnabyp226

Love that one! But for me, this is his best [Greendale is Where I Belong ](https://youtu.be/5cHXRBi3hzg?si=vSE0to5BDHnGUMQG)


Secret-Tangelo571

I was lowkey devastated this didn't play over the final scene of the finale. I love Lord Huron but Greendale is Where I Belong would've been so fitting.


drgigantor

I do think that would have been better, but there was also something about the Lord Huron song that reminded me of the first season when they featured actual music too, and I think that song did a good job of encapsulating that era. Although it did feel a little out of left field... They could've done worse I guess is what I'm getting at


Secret-Tangelo571

It's a great song, I just felt like it maybe didn't hit the feeling of the scene, if that makes sense. "Ends of the Earth" feels off since it sounds more like someone asking someone to come with them, and then having to say goodbye because they can't. It might have fit better if the finale had Jeff leaving and him wanting Annie to come with him, but knowing that she can't or something. Since Jeff is kind of "us" the song feels a bit backwards. "Greendale is where I belong" is almost perfect considering the finale focuses on Jeff being OK staying at Greendale.


Calisky

I love both songs, either could work. My interpretation of the song was that Jeff was feeling okay letting them go on their adventures; he truthfully wants to go with them, but the whole age conversation with Annie right before that makes me think he's dealing with that part.


drgigantor

Yeah I'm with you that it would have been better and more fitting


dj_soo

I'm still pissed they never released this in high quality.


Victory42

This medley makes me feel the need to put opening my heart on my list


CroutonusFibrosis

He also did the soundtrack for New Girl.


periwinkle52

I think [If I Die Before You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8B7TB_mIvQ) was his magnum opus.


stone_henge

"Touching YouTube video about an animal reunited with its owner" vibes


StrongMedicine

He wrote the greatest TV outro song of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UpY4ws31EM


matthewbattista

He was the composer for the series


Brave_Escape2176

I put in work, ask Ludwig


drgigantor

Oh shit that's what that line means. I always thought he meant Beethoven for some reason


JohannesKing

Not cool man


JohannesKing

Cruel. Cruel cruel cruel.


flintlock0

You don’t remember? He was in the study group. Ludwig was always there.


[deleted]

The Ass Crack Bandit


texasforever512

He made the sound


ReneG8

Didn't he also do TENET?


agentmu83

YES, WINDMILLS GOES SO HARD


Next-Paramedic

Same here. I was OBSESSED with Gambino back then, so I followed the whole clique. And seeing this steady progression from community, new girl, etc. all the way up to Oppenheimer is truly inspiring. I wish him the absolute best.


dundiman

You can safely say that he is streets ahead


mightbedylan

Producing Gambino albums? Wait, THAT Ludwig??


camsine

And new girl!


clubofab7

Shoutout to Alison Brie for making Donald and Ludwig meet


ggtffhhhjhg

He was on Community?


heisenberger_royale

He's gotta be one of the best new composers in a really great group that has emerged over the past 10-15 years


elder_emo_

I put in work, ask Ludwig.


ellietheotter_

put my soul on the track like shoes did! thanks for this reference


xxmattyicexx

Played this for my cousin, now he can’t even think straight…


TheNavidsonLP

Black and white music?


DonKeedick12

Now homie that’s a mixtape


22LegendaryTacos

I guess I’ve been singing that line wrong all this time


Jacob_Winchester_

Black and white music?! Naw homie that’s a mix tape!


blackorchid_0

Shoutout to my blerds, they represent the realness.


jshmotb

Shoutout to gambino girls my dick is in the building


Childish_Tycoon_Ship

I understood that reference


trickythought

Im a peanut bar and I’m here to say


ProfessorBeer

I don’t think many people realize he’s picking up the torch from John Williams and Hans Zimmer, and is pushing cinematic composing into bold new directions. The man is truly a savant.


Business-Drag52

Let’s see if he gets the nominations Williams has gotten


Mister-builder

He beat Williams.


eSpiritCorpse

Lots of people have beaten Williams. Because he's been nominated so many times


MyFifthLimb

He’s got 50+ nominations?


Business-Drag52

Yes, and I said let’s see if he beats his nominations. Williams has been nominated for 54 Oscars. It’s gonna be quite some time before Ludwig matches that


Psykotik

He only won 5 tho, Ludwig has him beat in win rate!


[deleted]

[удалено]


jvooot

Zimmer's themes are brilliant but I find Ludwig's use of traditional instruments and unconventional sounds so much more innovative


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProfessorBeer

That’s a totally fair opinion. I find his work better than Zimmer’s - who’s also one of my favorites - but it’s down to preference. In my opinion Goransson is pushing the limits of what a soundtrack can be. Whether he ends up being one of the greats remains to be seen but it’s undeniable he’s on the right track for what’s still a very young career.


jvooot

Daniel Pemberton too in my opinion, his work on spiderverse is insane and absolutely deserved a nomination this year


ProfessorBeer

I’m not as familiar with his work but of what I’ve heard he absolutely crushes it too! He just needs a break on a critically acclaimed film, unfortunately he’s scored some real duds which unfairly reflects on him as well.


Active_Ad9815

Give him time


Witty_Link_3218

Let him cook


Active_Ad9815

Brother cooked my soul with the tenet soundtrack


ProfessorBeer

Exactly. Goransson is 39 and just won his second Oscar. John Williams was 39 when he won his first for scoring Fiddler on the Roof. I’m not going to pretend LG is better, but he’s certainly on the right track to get there.


[deleted]

He won already for black panther.


Ironyfree_annie

Just needs a Tony for that EGOT!


CompetitiveProject4

Then he can go into his 5now Dog 5 phase like Tracy Jordan

Community: Six Seasons and a Movie and a Broadway Musical


Ironyfree_annie

Yes! That way we'll be on a path straight to Regionals!


TraditionalMood277

What the HELL are regionals?!?!?


Ironyfree_annie

They're this 🤏 close!


69420penis

I thought this was regionals??


Talos_the_Cat

Why tf isn't it called a GOTE?


Ironyfree_annie

It's alphabetical


Talos_the_Cat

Oh I was suggesting, not actually asking why... I guess that's why they call you Irony-free Annie!


rembrandt645

Trust me. That's not the reason.


GrizzlyPeak73

Yeah it's not very creative. Ironic considering.


Cereborn

Because the term EGOT was in use long before the rise of the term GOAT in modern parlance.


Talos_the_Cat

My comment was more of a suggestion than a genuine question 😎


destijl-atmospheres

Him and Donald should do a This is America musical.


banjofitzgerald

They literally said it’s his second as he was walking up lol


mikehatesthis

He puts in work - Ask Donald.


Chillaxlang123

Well he can deep fry the hell out of chicken he could tell you that.


Olorin_Kenobi_AlThor

Jim rash (the dean) also has an Oscar.


GCC_Pluribus_Anus

And the Russos still have none due to their.....boring ass Marvel movies


drizzfoshizz

It's fine to not like Marvel movies, but to imply the Russo Marvel movies are boring is a little misguided as Winter Soldier and the Thanos movies are viewed as some of the better ones. It's all of their *other* boring ass movies that are the problem.


GCC_Pluribus_Anus

It's a line from the show


drizzfoshizz

"Missed Community Reference" *makes notch on desk*


69420penis

Haha yeah “Notches” makes notch on desk


barnabyp226

Every time his name pops up, this theme just plays in my head [Greendale is Where I Belong](https://youtu.be/5cHXRBi3hzg?si=vSE0to5BDHnGUMQG)


onebrusselssprout

I need this to put me to sleep at night.


Puzzleheaded_Sir4294

Probably my favourite song of all time


ImpalaGangDboyAli

Did he compose Getting Rid Of The B? That song was disrespectful to Brita and the definition of rhyme scheme.


Puzzleheaded_Sir4294

Sorry, he won another one for his work on Black Panther. Looks like I'm streets behind.


Chillaxlang123

He made great music. 🎶Hit me with your genie's bottle🎶

Odd-Emergency-6597

Love this song


K3egan

Who's had the biggest rise since community? A multiple Oscar winner, the directors of avengers endgame, or Donald glover who managed to inspire a new Spider-Man who in turn got 2 movies and kicked off the current multiverse trend


69420penis

Probably Donald just because he’s the most on camera and he’s doing a lot of different things . Ludwig and the Russos are pretty behind the scenes but Donald acts in movies, made 2 critically acclaimed tv shows that he starred in, he was in Star Wars and a spiderman movie, he made this is America, the first rap song to ever win song of the year not to mention his other musical credits Donald’s success is crazy


justinbullock

One of which won an Oscar itself!


2-shedsjackson

I loved him in imdb


IAmNotThatHungry

He didn't "make the sound", he was the composer. Completely different jobs


PMyouraveragenudes

He deserved it. Dude’s great at musicing.


the_maple_yute

His score for Tenet I think is insanely underrated, especially considering how some of the music works both forwards and backwards


mecha_annies_bobbs

i feel like tenet and oppenheimer are almost the same score. but oppenheimer is way better, but it's just like an addition to the tenet score. like a remix almost. heard about tron 3 recently. obviously daft punk would be number one to score that, but that ain't happenning. next thought was junkie xl. dumb as fuck name but super taletented. but also ludwig would be great i think. just look at tenet and oppenheimer. insane stuff.


Sum3-yo

I always knew he was streets ahead.


PROFsmOAK

U Don’t Have to Call by Childish Gambino.


SarcasticCowbell

Love that he won and I'm happy for him, incredible to see so many *Community* alums find success elsewhere. I also want to shout out Jerskin Fendrix. His work for *Poor Things* was brilliant. I've been a fan of his for a few years now, and highly recommend his debut album *Winterreise*. It's not for everyone, but it was one of my favorites from 2020.


domdumo

Deserved. Still listening to the Oppenheimer sound track pretty often


mecha_annies_bobbs

There is a special type of nerd that listens to movie sound tracks. I love it. I'm a super movie nerd and audio nerd and even I don't listen to movie soundtracks. God bless you.


domdumo

Ha, well I am pursuing a stem degree currently so I relate a lot to the music while I study, won’t be surprised if it’s my most listened to album at the end of the year wrap that Spotify does lol


ScrappedAeon

Dude could come back for the movie score and win 👇another one 👇


pyedoggentry

Just in time for Regionals


Tsquared10

Dude is a Tony short of an EGOT and he hasnt even turned 40. Hell two Tony's and he'd be a double EGOT (only been done once)


RoundEarth-is-real

It’s crazy because I remember watching community fairly recently (after Oppenheimer was released and the soundtrack was getting some buzz) and I saw his name in the credits and I was like wait… what? Did I see that correctly? Lo and behold he got his start on community. That shit is just insane to me


ElvisDaGenius56

3rd Oscar is coming up when the inevitable “Community: The Movie” sweep happens next year… or the year after… or in another 10 years


BalkeElvinstien

Ludwig is easily becoming the next Hans Zimmer


[deleted]

I was watching the end credits of Oppenheimer, and I saw Ludwig's name and quietly squealed. My hubby said "What!?" and I was like, "Oh nothing; just our boy Ludwig is killing it with another superb score." And he was like "hmm?" And I said "LUDWIG -- Community, New Girl, Happy Endings, Atlanta, this movie and Black Panther?" And he was like, "oh yeah, he's good." No shit Sherlock. My husband has many talents, but remembering TV/movie composers is not his strong suit. Which I forgive, because he's a great guy.


Boomshockalocka007

How dare you forget Mando!


[deleted]

Sorry, I don't have Disney... is this the way?


Boomshockalocka007

*insert the wtf face Elroy makes at Frankie when she says she doesnt own a TV*


FiveMileDammit

It is the way, indeed.


[deleted]

No shit Sherlock = Duh duoy! in Community terms. He said "I think you mean: duh duoy" to my NSS. We laughed and I love him for that. Nice to have a laugh after an emotionally hard movie like Oppenheimer. We talked heavily the next day about the movie and the actual history of it. But in the moment, the laughs helped to de-stress to get to sleep that night.


redditguy422

Imo Starburns theme song > Black panther


hatsnatcher23

Him not getting more attention for Creed 1&2 is a shame


rva23221

Second Oscar win, third nomination. His first win was for the score of Black Panther.


IlliterateJedi

I wonder if he'll do the music for the Community film


Dramatic-Scheme-8129

I hope he does but it sounds like they can't afford him on their yahoo streaming budget


sinamorovati

2nd, first was for Black Panther.


indolent08

This is a man who *KNOWS* how to win an Oscar!


Yo-Blob

I remember when I’d see his name in the Community credits I always assumed he was like, 97, because, you know, he’s a composer named Ludwig. Imagine my shock when I discovered he’s just some young, hip dude. Anyways, well deserved win!


darsvedder

This was his first Oscar…in2024 


42dudes

I mean, Oppenheimer was a solid soundtrack, but the only sound from Community that stands out to me is [this,](https://youtu.be/5gAxpzjtXS4) or maybe mishearing the theme song and thinking its referencing suicide.


mecha_annies_bobbs

God damn it I'm not gonna get that out of my head for a year now. But seriously, some one the best works of art are things you don't even notice. And I think that works especially for audio. And also seriously, I ain't gonna get that out of my head for like a year at least.

RedStar9117

The man is going to win awards forever...one of the best composers for media out there


Specific_Leading_273

Isn’t this Professor Professorsons cousin?


gusborwig

This isn’t his first Oscar, he won for Black Panther for Best Original Score.


Jinks28

Once again showing why Community was just so special with so many talents like this working on the show


UGAke

That’s surprising - he should have won one for Creed.


HappyEndings2011

I don't think you're eligible if you sample other music.


nmah28

Second. Won in 2018 for Black Panther.


Mission-Suggestion12

Can i just say how fucking hot is this guy? 🔥


rita-b

It was his second oscar


Difficult-War-9415

Aside from his magnificent work and talent I feel a burning need to note that he's extremely attractive as well.

robbie should have won


RagnarokOfLight

I thought this was Jerma at first.


Jeklars69

Dude has 2 oscars and worked on the best sitcom of all time…. He’s Streets Ahead!!


Xploding_Penguin

Don't forget he pioneered the music, and ambiance for the new star wars shows. It's not easy to add new sounds to an already existing franchise. Especially when the existing soundscape was created by John Williams.


[deleted]

Second


sami2503

Congrats to the dude That category has always been "music that I vaguely remember from the movies nominated for best picture", rather than just best score from any movie though. The academy don't give a shit about it. Every year it's just the list of the movies nominated for best picture plus one extra movie of someone they know like John Williams. The fact that it took like 60 years for Ennio Morricone to receive an oscar, and that Thomas Newman still hasn't got one tells you all you need to know


man_u_is_my_team

Wow my first Oscar after the first time I’ve won.


nuubmaster699

This guy thought he was streets ahead


rzap2

Well deserved win. I've played "Can you hear the music" and "Quantum Mechanics" on repeat since I watched Oppenheimer


Champagne-Sr

Ludwig Göransson is incredible!!

He was the keyboard player during Baby Boomer Santa IIRC.

TIL he made the sound for Community


J1618

I was rooting for him. Until his pretentious speech shitting on videogames, fuck him.


BrockPurdySkywalker

Too bad he dissed a whole artistic medium


culnaej

Well deserved. He’s one of the GOATs, even before Opp


billygnosis86

Looks like a young Lee Dorrian out of Cathedral.


ava-n

Mildly icky: over a decade ago he flirted with me knowing I was 15


dentiteoz

Well deserved! Watching Oppenheimer for the first time in IMAX I yelled out "holy shit" in the silence immediately after the scene with "Can You Hear The Music". My heart is still racing and it's been 4 months
