Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban has Been Nominated

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is a fine score. I don't understand all the bashing of it.

Justin - Who loves the last two tracks.

I completely agree. It isn't Oscar-worthy, but it's enjoyable enough. The beginning of "The Bad Beginning" and "Loverly Spring" had me in fits of laughter. You would understand if you've read the books: it's just dripping in sarcasm.

I also love the last two tracks. "One Last Look" has a nice string rendition of the VFD theme, and "The Letter That Never Came" is very very beautiful; I love the "Baudelaire orphans' theme" in that track and on piano in "Resilience."

It takes some getting used to Newman's unique style, but once you've listened to it a few times, it's really quite good.

My ratings for all of the nominated scores:

-Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 10/10

-The Village - 9/10

-Finding Neverland - 8.5/10

-Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - 7/10

-The Passion of the Christ - N/A

Much of Lemony Snicket is good, but much of it is dull and seemingly uninspired. For every "The Reptile Room" or "The Letter That Never Came," there's a "Curdled Cave" or "Interlude With Sailboat." And as an overall score, it doesn't have much cohesiveness. Still though, the highlights are very good.

Awsome! I've never heard of the other nominees or those films. Williams must win.
