Why he might be annoying:

    He wrote an episode of The Simpsons.
    He has yet to score a movie that hasn't been directed by Damien Chazelle.
    He lists his favorite film of all time as The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
    He was onstage during the infamous 'Best Picture mixup' snafu in 2017.
    Ironically, his name resembles Jordan Horowitz, who famously announced that Moonlight was the 'real' Best Picture winner.

    He met Damien Chazelle when they were roommates at Harvard.
    He was a member of the Harvard Lampoon.
    He is of diverse Jewish heritage (from Russia, Poland, Damascus and Beirut).
    As a television writer, he has written episodes of The League and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
    He won two Academy Awards: for Best Original Score and for Best Original Song ('City of Stars') both for 'La La Land.'
    He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for 'First Man.'
    He wrote the music and score for what some have called the best movie musical in a generation.
    He supported stripping Harvey Weinstein of his Academy membership, saying: 'I think anything we can do to create a culture of accountability, and to show support for women who have been victimized by this kind of behavior, is a good thing.'
