It was 2 years ago.

2 years of new scores + 2 years of new members + other members joining in is worth an update.

Some films I support that did not make the list last time

As one of the (probably 89.4% of the people that will vote here) that fails to comprehend and understand the difference between a soundtrack and a score, did I remember it wrong or didn't Fifty Shades of Gray actually have pretty great music despite all its other failings?

Doesn't get much better than this.

Danny Elfman did music for it. That's all I know. @ddddeeee could tell you better than I about it.

And my #1 possibly. It barely got on the eventual list the last time, let's get it higher now

You guys have the opportunity to make up for Jupiter Ascending tragic omission from 2015's list. Don't fucking waste it.

It wasn't eligible for 2015's list.

I think most people use them interchangeably, although (I think) technically a score is comprised of original music composed for the film, and a soundtrack is a bunch of previously-recorded songs that're used in the film.

SO by that nature, if I like all the songs in Moana, that means I can vote for it as a score. OR I need to pay attention mostly to the background music happening between songs?

Songs (with lyrics) aren't considered part of a score, unless it's stuff like symphonic choir elements. So MOANA technically has two music releases: the soundtrack (containing all the songs), and the score.

T-Newman + Pixar FTW

No.

Songs make up no part of a score.

I got faith in you.

Just start putting down the ones that come to mind first and submit once you feel comfortable with what you got down.
