Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Original Score

Photobucket

Nominees
Anna Karenina
Argo
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Skyfall

The winner here is usually not the best score, but the most memorable score.  The one that the viewer is humming on the way home.  The only one of the above movies I can say that about is "Life of Pi".  I simply cannot believe "Cloud Atlas" got snubbed here though.  Its score is beautiful, memorable, and a key part of the story line.  I understand that the movie is divisive, but the score was BY FAR the best of 2012.

My Ballot:
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Skyfall
Argo

My Pick to Win:
Life of Pi

REALLY REALLY SHOULDA BEEN HERE!!!:
Cloud Atlas

  2. No way James Bond, with all of its music rehashed from other Bond films, wins best "original" score.
