Music Supervisors can't win Oscars -- this isn't the Emmys or Grammys where every conceivable kind of job has multiple categories -- but they do have a guild. They're the people who oversee all music-related aspects of a film. This year they've nominated the usual suspects plus a lot of others (since they have many categories divided by budget - hiiiii Gloria Bell, nice to see ya). Here's who they're honoring this year...
