Posted: 6/14/08 at 8:38am

I always have to start this thread! Well, I did last year anyway...

Who do you think will take this one home?

Jason Carr, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
Alex Lacamoire & Bill Sherman, IN THE HEIGHTS
Stew & Heidi Rodewald, PASSING STRANGE
Jonathan Tunick, A CATERED AFFAIR

In your response post the following (with your own POV of course) -

THE WINNER: IN THE HEIGHTS
WHO YOU WANT: A CATERED AFFAIR
WHO MIGHT SURPRISE US AS WINNER: PASSING STRANGE

A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

I think ACA should win, but ITH will probably win.

Passing Strange will probably win, they'll want to give something to Stew and Heidi, since ITH will probably take score.

It's a shame, because there is no question in my mind that Tunick should win. This will be the 2nd straight year he'll be screwed out of winning for nominators not viewing orchestrations as its own category, and really what orchestrations are and what makes great orchestrations (if they did, there's no way Shiek would have beaten Tunick last year)

In The Heights!

Winner: Jonathan Tunick!
Who I want: Jonathan Tunick, of course
Upset: Passing Strange

There's only one who would deserve it and that's Tunick, no doubt. The score would be rather weak without his magical touch. And thanks to Tunick, it's overall nice to repeatedly listen to.

Passing Strange winning would be a big fat joke. But who knows...

Sunday In The Park With George. Although A Catered Affair could be a dark horse. I feel ITH and Passing Strange aren't really great orchestral shows, they just have a great score.
