"...In explaining its decision, the Jury observed that,'In the movie God's Waiting List, the music is employed with an exceptional subtlety, so that it is not only used as an ornament, but plays an intrinsic and major role in the movie.

The jury also praised the exceptional professionalism of his composition..."
