    As I expected, awards shows overlooking truly brilliant film scores for ones that are popular. The Dark Knight Rises doesn’t deserve a nomination, it’s James Horner’s Spider-Man that really deserves it. And The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo wasn’t nearly as good as Snow White and the Huntsman.

    • David says:

      Most of Grammy nominees are always scores for movies released 18 months ago. I agree, Spider-Man should have been instead of TDKR.

  2. Ds says:

    Big fan of Zimmer, but this time Howard Shore deserves to win. His music for Hugo was amazing.
