No nomination for the music??!!
This is like one of the most standard themes ever... and with Rampal on flute....it's sick. Bolling's music wasn't even NOMINATED. That is a crime.
I am a musician, well-written music is a joy, and it is remembered. I would understand it if Superman's score would have won. That theme is iconic. Or, even Heaven Can Wait (although I tend to remember Beatty/Wayne Shorter playing Ciribiribin more than anything).
Morricone's music is fine as a rule - BUT I can honestly say that I don't remember the music he won the Oscar for (Midnight Express) this year, not for the life of me. That's not very Oscar-worthy.
