Frames man also gets nod

Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood took home the prize for best composer at the Critics Choice Awards held in Los Angeles last night (January 7).

The guitarist won for the score he composed for 'There Will Be Blood', a film starring actor Daniel Day-Lewis.

Greenwood wasn't on hand to accept the award, so Snoop Dogg and co-presenter Feist accepted it on his behalf.

Frames' Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova earned the award for Best Song, beating out Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who went home empty-handed.
