August 18, 2014 Creative Arts Emmy Awards for Music Silvestri's long-awaited return to TV soars the Cosmos with twin Emmys by Jon Burlingame  Alan Silvestri Silvestri won for both Music Composition in a Series (Original Dramatic Score) and Main Title Theme Music for the 13-part Fox documentary series. The 64-year-old composer of such classic movie scores as Forrest Gump, Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit scored all 13 hours of Cosmos, his first weekly-series gig since scoring CHiPs in the early 1980s. These were his first Emmy nominations in a 40-year career of writing music for films and TV. He thanked members of the production and music team including, he said, "the voice of Neil DeGrasse Tyson," an in-joke for those who had heard him talk about how important host Tyson's performance had been in leading him in the right musical direction for each episode.
