We are very glad to find in this list such names as Petri Alanko and Ramin Djawadi, despite of their debut in this industry. Separate nomination is devoted to vocal composition from videogame, and there are only three pretenders for victory:

Godeater) Written by
Go Shiina / Performed by Go Shiina and the
Japanese Studio Orchestra, featuring
Donna Burke

Hypnogaja

You may expect a hot battle between musical directors: not only
Simon Landry (Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands) will fight for the first place.
Paul Gorman (Dante's Inferno) and
Steve Schnur (Medal of Honor) will keep him a company. And almost forgot, the last fighter - SCEA Music Team (God of War III).
We are tired to tape one more list apart, so, if you are interested in movie composers, you could find out the information on
official site of Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
This year has been definitely a successful one for
Winifred Phillips. Let’s take a closer look. Electronic Arts released her music from
SimAnimals in January, and it became Winifred’s first commercial soundtrack release. And the soundtrack from a fresh Spore Hero for Nintendo Wii and DS was made available already in October, nearly at year-end by the very same Electronic Arts.
