Ok, maybe not a surprise, in fact it’s probably one of the least surprising wins ever. I knew it would win and it did. I think you all know my sentiments on that if you listened to the Oscore Noms podcast a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations to Michael Giacchino are in order for winning Best Score. Although it was expected, it wasn’t an easy feat.

What is even greater is the following line I read before I started listening to the interview: “Credit uber geek director and 80’s film score fan Kevin Smith, who had the cojones to pull Faltermeyer back into the game with a score that sounds like he never left it

Soundtrack Review: The Road (2010)

Movie Soundtrack Review : This is a review of the motion picture score The Road by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis . “It certainly does a number on me emotionally and intellectually” The world has ended… in America at least, as a man and his son walk the desolated wastelands looking for food and shelter. It’s another post-apocalyptic tale of hardship and the struggle to survive. Directed by John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall and Guy Pearce, it’s an interesting if very dark tale of what could happen. The story is based on the Pulitzer winning book The Road by Cormack McCarthy
