Moroder also won two of his four Grammy Awards for Flashdance: Best Album or Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special, and Best Instrumental Composition for the track "Love Theme from Flashdance". His other two awards were for Donna Summer's single "Carry On" and for Daft Punk's album Random Access Memories, which won Album of the Year. He has been nominated for nine Golden Globe Awards that resulted in four wins: Best Original Score for Midnight Express and Flashdance, and Best Original Song for "Flashdance... What a Feeling" and "Take My Breath Away".
