Best Original Score (Patrick Doyle) [The score for this film builds off of four main motifs. First there is Caesar's theme, which starts off with a complex violin solo playing off the man's multiple layers before other string instruments are woven in to deepen its focus, until finally we get a full orchestral rendition in key action and dramatic segments to display his greatness. Second is the theme for the Roman Republic, which builds off of horns and drums for a militaristic jaunt with some strings added in for good measure. However whereas Caesar's theme builds up, in the scenes in Rome we see that the Republic theme actually scales down, trading in for deeper horns and low woodwinds and the occasional drum hit to show the decaying Senate's corruption. Third is Vercingetorix's theme, which is a mellow, rustic and romantic theme that plays when he assumes leadership roles or in his tender moments with Calanna. It's a mix of strings and woodwinds with little jaunt or bombastic. Fourth is a motif for the Gauls in general, following them as they go to war with rustic and pastoral flutes, clarinets, and oboes being turned into militaristic instruments with an aid from some drums and some heavy stringwork courtesy of violins and cellos.]

Best Original Score (Jeremy Soule) [The film's score is centered around several motifs. The main theme is Selena's, which is a pleasant and optimistic tune that starts off with a piano solo but then shifts into a repeat with a flute before the theme then progresses into an orchestral variation with mainly strings and woodwinds. Cobben's theme dominates his big scenes and also general magic scenes with a flighty air of zippy flutes and piccolos aided by violins. Asyr has a dark theme of cellos and violas ruminating on her evil intentions and dark power. The other major theme is for Sylvarius and the Great Aeolian Forest. It starts out pastoral with woodwinds and strings to celebrate nature, but then it adds in some horns and drums and shifts to lower-tune woodwinds and strings from before to depict the harsher, wearier side of the forest guardian and his wards.]

Best Score - Howard Shore

Description: The modern day portions makes use of synthesisers, and modern day instruments not available back then like the brass, carrying a tone that begins in minor, but eventually at the end modulates to a major inspiring hope, and ending the film with a deceptive (V-VI) cadence to leave the feeling that this entire process isn’t finished, and that we still have a bright future of progress in front of us. The Aboriginal Section makes heavy use of their traditional instruments, and grows from simplistic notes, monotonous, arrhythmic, to the full and rich sound utilising the entirety of the native aboriginals repertoire of instruments as we see them on the eve of British arrival. (At this point the melody is slightly intruded on with a very militaristic, highly disciplined background motif that symbolises the coming of Britainia, and all its might and glory.) The British theme makes use of a lot of powerful instruments like the drums, and the horns. It also makes use of the instruments of the classic antiquities such as the lire, to symbolise the strength of Britain. Despite all this power there is also a hint and sometimes more of the unique Grace that Britain has with the use of violins, and other more graceful instruments such as an early variant of the flute, the piccolo, and etc. When the British, and the Aboriginals fight, the battle in the score is a battle between the aboriginal instruments, and the classical ones, eventually molding into one single theme, as the British begin to take the upper hand, and the Aboriginals begin to lose, at which point their motifs take on a minor motif to symbolise the sad waning of an era. After the war as the British deal with the Australians often brutally, the Aboriginals’ motif makes often use of a diminished seventh which is a jarring chord to symbolise the control that Britain now has over Australia, and how the Aboriginals despite living there for over 60 000 years now no longer really belong. At the end of the film where the British motif comes back, and ends with a major key perfect (V-I) Cadence to symbolise that even though Britain no longer has de facto control over Australia, they went out with a bang, and they went out with their heads held high, and very much is still currently a powerful nation. The Aboriginal theme at the end of the film is a minor key perfect (V-I) cadence, perfect to represent the finality of their glory days, to represent that their glory days are ended, and minor to represent the sad state in which they were evicted from their ancestral lands, and the inequality that exists today between the aboriginals and the whites of Australia.

SparkBest PictureBest Animated FeatureBest Original ScreenplayBest Score (John Powell - Consisting of winds and strings to create a mild feel for the beginning of the movie, but a larger percussion base and some light techno elements kick in as the story moves to outer space. The score's tone is adjusted to be upbeat and exciting for space exploration, slow for some of the more somber scenes, and loud and intense for the large scale battles that occur in the second half. During the more melancholy and moody scenes, the technical elements go away, leaving mainly strings and piano.)Best Song ("When That Day Comes" by The Killers)Best Sound EditingBest Sound MixingBest Voice Performance In A Leading Role (David Faustino)Best Voice Performance In A Leading Role (Bryce Dallas Howard)Best Voice Performance In A Supporting Role (Benedict Cumberbatch)Best Voice Performance In A Supporting Role (Anton Yelchin)Best Voice Performance In A Supporting Role (Hugo Weaving)The SimulationBest Director (Duncan Jones)Best Actor (Joseph Gordon Levitt)Best Original ScreenplayBest Supporting Actor (Ewan McGregor)Best Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams)Best EnsembleBest Film EditingBest CinematographyBest Sound MixingBest Sound EditingBest Score (Atticus Ross - The score mainly consists of slow technical tones with some piano to create a generally somber and mild feel, while being atmospheric and cold at the same time.

-Best Original Score (Hans Zimmer) (The score creates the breathtaking imagery associated with Aren. It is both haunting and majestic, depending on the scene and imagery. In particular, the haunting space scenes are low-key and melodious, but bear an ominous twinge to them, especially when the Exodus crew finds the abandonned shuttle port. The Aren theme, which plays on the initial entrance into Aren and is the most well known theme of the movie, is much more exciting and completes a weave of sci-fi-esque tones with some enchanting fantastical elements to create the main theme of the movie. Variations on this theme feature 1) a lighter twist to the theme that plays for Amira ("Amira's Theme") as when Amira and Lucas swim naked in the lake, and 2) a darker twist to showcase the brutal warfare that occurs in the latter part of the film after the Empire breaks the Chitans to their will. The Empire's Theme is also a very exciting but also dark themed piece. Overall, the score creates an energized, enchanting, and mesmerizing atmosphere of "Nirvana".)
