Iglesias joined Deadline’s Crew Call podcast to discuss his sonic approach to the Penélope Cruz-Milena Smit switched-at-birth drama, his early roots with Almodóvar, and the recent Oscar controversy that is leaving his Score category out of the live telecast.

Iglesias’ previous original score Oscar nominations include 2006’s The Constant Gardner, 2008’s The Kite Runner, and 2012’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
