Ennio Morricone, the Oscar-winning Italian composer of more than 500 film scores, including The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, The Untouchables, and Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, died at the age of 91. Over the course of his glorious career, Morricone became a national hero in his native Italy and, in America, was nominated for six Oscars — winning only once, for The Hateful Eight. In 2007, he was also the recipient of an honorary statuette from the Academy.
