The score to NARNIA was absolutely undeserving of a nomination. I couldn't stand the score - it couldn't get any more generic. The second worst score of the year, next to KING KONG. Just BLAH.
Next to the films that actually DID get nominated, it was nothing. Have you guys heard the gorgeous, beautiful, amazing, and sometimes haunting scores of GEISHA, MUNICH, BROKEBACK, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, etc.?
The only omission I'm upset by is Thomas Newman's score for CINDERELLA MAN, which was leagues better than that from THE CONSTANT GARDENER.
