This Sunday is the Sunday of all Sundays as far as the entertainment world is concerned. This is the night Oscar polishes up and makes his appearance around the world. This weekend we bring you the soundtracks from the nominated films for Best Original Score.

Well, I’d have to go with The Silence of the Lambs followed by Blade Runner...2012, nothing.
Thanks for the ping!

I love the scores of “Lawrence Of Arabia” and Dr. Zhivago” both by Maurice Jarre.
But we are talking 45 YEARS Ago LOL!

I loved the score to The Artist - a mixture of the style of Bernard Hermann and Max Steiner.

I thought the soundtrack for “The Descendants” was great...
“Thor” had beautiful fanfare, as the camera swept over Asgaard
I haven’t seen any nominated films though
I know some people like the Oscars, but I stopped watching when “Shakespeare In Love” beat out “Saving Private Ryan”.
But, it is a free country, at least for now.
It may be a mark of age when you find going to the movies has become a bore. However, given Hollywood’s consistent biases, it may also be a mark of intelligence and conservatism. I may make an effort to see “Act of Valor” though, after all, exceptions do make the rule.
As far as film music is concerned, I have enjoyed much and many but have not heard all of the ones from tonights ego-fest. My favorites from ‘recent’ films have been the soundtracks from the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy (2001-3) and “The Last of the Mohicans” (1992).
Sigh, 10 and 20 years ago - all those movie tickets, popcorn and drinks un-bought ... maybe that is why I’m not poor now!?
I saw The Artist yesterday and loved it. Great score. The public was mesmerized, not a sound from anybody. It was so nice to see a silent movie and enjoy it.
Is there a live Oscar thread tonight? I haven’t seen one so far...
We loved it, too, and the audience was the same (we actually saw it in one of the "big" theaters in Hollyweird last November). I'm not sure if it's "Best Picture"-worthy though...

Aw, thanks, Bender2! ;-)
Just my opinion-—I thought Life is Beautiful was better than both of those movies. And I never cry when big lib Spielberg loses anything.
I understand, but I gave the Lefty Spielberg a pass on “Saving Private Ryan”, because it was the first movie in years that didn’t treat soldiers as stereotypes.
