That same year, Iglesias composed the music for Tomas Alfredson's film adaptation of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", starring Gary Oldman as George Smiley. Iglesias told the "Los Angeles Times", "(Alfredson) explained to me very well what this film is about. It's a film about loyalties and human relationships. Their spies are victims of this moment. That was the most important thing he told me. The film and the music show the more human side." He received his third Oscar nomination for the latter film.
