    It should have been Half-blood Prince, actually

    Best score of the year.

    However, from the nominees, I'd go with Sherlock Holmes.

    oscars - YAWN

    by umbral_shadow_

    It stopped being about rewarding quality years ago. Now it's about who has the most connections, who has been schmoozing around parties the most and political agendas.

    its a total yawn, but its still news.

    by obscura

    like it or not, a big chunk of the industry is pivoted around all that bollocks that's going on right this second. Meanwhile, a nobody somewhere writes a movie.

    Sherlock Holmes

    I hadn't realized just how memorable that score was until I heard bits of it again at the Oscars.

    Hooray for Michael Giacchino!

    by nasty in the pasty

    It's been a while since the year's best score actually won for Best Score (maybe the first Lord Of The Rings in 2001). Now, can Disney just release a FUCKING CD of the music, please?!

    Also, where was the In Memorium shout out for Muarice Jarre?

    by nasty in the pasty

    Dude wins THREE Academy Awards, and doesn't get a nod? Hell, the segment should have been scored to his music, for Christ's sake! I'm sure when John Williams dies, he'll get preferential treatment, but why not Jarre? Also Leonard Rosenman wasn't singled out either.

    MAURICE Jarre

    MJ and MG

    by scorekeeper

    Maurice Jarre was actually shown twice in the memorium segment. He was like the 2nd or 3rd person shown and then at the end there was another shot of him conducting on the podium. Sadly though, LR wasn't recognized.

    And MASSIVE congrats to MG. Hollywood finally got it right.
