It's a crime the score wasn't even nominated for an Academy Award

Personally I think it should have 'won' but falling short of that it would have held it's own against those scores that 'were' nominated.
This score was incredible, absolutely perfect.
What a burn....

Winner:
Life of Pi: Mychael Danna
NOMINEES
Anna Karenina: Dario Marianelli
Argo: Alexandre Desplat
Lincoln: John Williams
Skyfall: Thomas Newman

i know!!! the score was amazing. the theme was perfect for the movie; haunting, mysterious, and just the slightest bit optimistic. it isn't often that as i watch a movie i am thinking about the score as something that enhances the movie, but in this one, all the music, especially the theme, made it clearer and even more beautiful.
