 Swan Lake is ever majestic and magical. Mansell is ever reliable. |
 When preexisting music is this perfect for your vision... |
 Fun, thrashy, with a great sense of garageband rough edges and miniature gems. |
The hymns were an inspired choice, weren't they? |
More hymns and earthy folk flavor. |

a hooky survival anthem for the ages, though here it's temporarily fused to Cher's return. |
Written and performed by Jónsi Rousing and adventurous like the sweet exciting movie. |
Written by Beck. Performed by Stephen Stills "We are Sex Bob-Omb and we're here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff." |
 Written by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater. Performed by Mandy Moore & Zachary Levi in the film in a sequence that's so thrilling visually it probably didn't even need a song this good. |

| Well timed silences, evocative musical flourishes and one lonely man's endless chatter and lust for life. "Love itttttt" |
Sometimes the best sound comes in tiny handfuls. It's carefully sprinkled with delicate humor and fragile beauty. |
 Sometimes the best sound is a whole wall of it. It's erected all over the place creating shadows and weird alleys of feeling. |
 An action film that remembers that sound work can be as fun as a good stunt. It's as juicy as Angie's lips. |
 Big risks, big rewards: noisy clubs where you have to lean in, that out-of-time rowing match, and the mix on a killer score. |
|
Finalists: TRUE GRIT because Coen Bros movies generally sound as good as they look, BLACK SWAN adds crazy on top of crazy -- this hall o mirrors also echoes and I AM LOVE really pushes towards the extremes, whispering and shouting with equal depth of feeling. Semi-Finalists: MOTHER, A PROPHET, TOY STORY 3, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON |

| BLACK SWAN | HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON | INCEPTION | SALT | THE SOCIAL NETWORK |
 Deep inside Nina's jumpy headspace. God, it's noisy in there. |
Do you know the different vocalizations of a Night Fury and a Gronkol? Now you do? |
 Buildings are raised. So is the hair on one's arms. |
 You can hear the bullets whiz right by Angie's black tresses. Don't they know she's bullet proof? |
How can typing and sending been so exciting to watch and hear? It sounds as good as it looks. |

Finalists: TRUE GRIT, TOY STORY 3, 127 HOURS, Semi-Finalists: SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, SPLICE, IRON MAN 2 |
