Michael Giacchino UP |
| The sound mix over-emphasized it but it's a delight. |
Is there anything that doesn't work in this movie? Unusually tense soundscapes. |
Playful. Nice to see er... hear Hamlisch back in it. |
Does as much to keep the movie as lively as Robert Downey Jr. |
The central theme "Married Life" sure is a wistful beauty. Bonus Giacchino points: Star Trek |

Alexandre Desplat, Burl Ives and various artists FANTASTIC MR FOX |
Karen O and the Kids, Tom Biller and children's choir WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE |
| Hall & Oates gets the best scene but the rest of the music works wonderfully, too. |
Great match for the material: creepily intricate, children's voices and all around curious. |
Lots of fine songs and performance. Bonus points: actors who can actually sing. |
Busy busy busy Desplat keeps on impressing (and the score is spiced up with other choice bits) |
Perfect hipster score of the mysteries and moods of (remembered) childhood. |

Gold: FANTASTIC MR FOX Silver: WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE Bronze: CRAZY HEART Semi-Finalists: NINE featured hit and miss interpretations of the original great Yeston song score. Plus new songs. |

 |
| "All is Love" WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE |
"Take it All" NINE |
"Somebody Else" CRAZY HEART |
"The Weary Kind" CRAZY HEART |
"You've Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger" AN EDUCATION |
| Written and performed by Karen O and The Kids. So weirdly moving what with the little kids singing and the lyrics and the... |
Written by Maury Yeston. Performed within the film by an assaultive bruised Marion Cotillard. With striptease no less. |
Writte by T-Bone Burnett and Stephen Burton. Such a smart intro to the character "I used to be somebody, now I am somebody else." |
Written by Ryan Bingham & T Bone Burnett. The writing performed in recovering boozy character by Jeff Bridges. |
Written and performed by Beth Rowley in the film at the nightclub. It's so swoony, you'd think it was actually an old standard. |

Gold: YOU'VE GOT ME WRAPPED... Silver: ALL IS LOVE Bronze: THE WEARY KIND Semi-Finalists: "Other Father's Song from CORALINE | "Ayayayay" from THE MAID | "Being Bad" from DUPLICITY |

Sound Mixing

|
 |
|
| AVATAR | HUNGER | THE HURT LOCKER | INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS | UP |
| [insert Na'Vi war cry here.] |
Sounds in close-up, almost no score to speak of and little dialogue. Such control and artistry. |
Explosions, dialogue, score all in harmonious psychological dischord. Er... tick-tick-boom. |
I can still hear the echo on that baseball bat. Ick. And Shoshanna's intake of breath. And Tarantino's wordy poetry. |
"SQUIRREL!" |

| AVATAR | DISTRICT 9 | DRAG ME TO HELL | THIRST | UP |
| Such a transporting world creation, I wish there were smell-o-vision to add to it's sights and sounds. |
I love the way the prawns sound. And those weapons of mini-mass destruction. |
Gleefully over the top horror tropes. I half expected to hear someone shout "Boo!" |
A vampire film with a real appetite; ever slurp, fasp and gurgle is fully felt and heard. Creepy creepy creepy. |
The dog collars alone have to be considered a highlight of the year. |
