Journey composer is fine with winning a VGA on the red carpet

If you only caught Spike’s annual Video Game Awards on television, you may have noticed that the whole thing was pretty light on actual awards. That’s because Spike handed out many of the trophies before the actual broadcast started. One of those winners, Journey composer Austin Wintory, won Best Original Score without any warning while walking into the theater. “I was fully anticipating losing,” said Wintory. “I thought Jack Wall, the composer of [Call of Duty] Black Ops II would win. I saw him on the red carpet and told him that I was 100 percent sure I was going to lose to him.”
