Composed Morricone hopeful for sixth time lucky Oscar

By Marie-Louise Gumuchian LONDON (Reuters) - Ennio Morricone is hoping it will be sixth time lucky at this year's Oscars, where he has been nominated for the musical score for Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight". "I hope that this time there will be (Oscar victory)," 87-year-old Morricone told Reuters in an interview. Morricone's previous Oscar bids include his work for "Bugsy" and "The Untouchables", but it is perhaps his loss for his critically-acclaimed "The Mission" score -- when Herbie Hancock scooped the honour for "Round Midnight" -- that is the sorest.
