Seeing Zimmer in there again for a useless score just grates on my nerves. Does the score serve its purpose for the film, sure, but it could also serve for any other drama too. I just get sick of seeing scores nominated for the sole purpose of another nom for a popular film with critics. Its like they dont even really care. Williams will get the nom, mostly deserving, although I wouldnt say it is his best work. Gravity was stunning. While minimalistic, I found it really creative, which for me, is strange given I dont normally enjoy scores like that. Mr. Banks was good, probably one of Newman's better works of late. As a whole this years offerings are rather limited. I really hope Gravity wins though, it was a great score, especially in context of the film.
