Lackluster scores

Film scores, that is.

Let's face it, this category is almost always a giant crapshoot.
This year, it's a little more controlled. Not that many great scores accompanying the hot films.

Some go even spartan, or very close to (e.g. The Wrestler).

This is going to be an interesting race.

I think, personally, that this will be Thomas Newman's year. The academy will not have any excuse...except maybe Desplat for Benjamin Button. That's a mighty fine score too.

All you film score enthusiasts can find a taste of Revolutionary Road's eloquent score here:

Also, there are a few clips of the film under the Yates section there.
