This seems wrong due to other great scores nominated. I mean, it’s pretty weird to say that they deserve it unless we are talking about the (over)hypes.
Why did a 2011 score win?
Most of Grammy nominees are score made between 12-18 months before the awards.
Wow. They got no Oscar this time, so here’s a little reward 2 years later. Worst score of all the nominated ones!
And once again, they win over a score for an animated medium.
