[DirkDiggler]

OMFG. The Master is getting nominated!

[Largo]

God, I hope Wreck-It Ralph pulls through. The score in that is masterful.

[DirkDiggler]

So...

Moonrise Kingdom and Les Miserables aren't eligible.

[with_one_voice]

Wow The Master AND Beasts are eligible. Horray!

[Largo]

So...

Moonrise Kingdom and Les Miserables aren't eligible.

I don't know why for Moonrise Kingdom, but Les Mis' score, I assume, is taken ENTIRELY from the stage musical, considering the whole movie is sung, just like the play. Not exactly shocking.

[filmy]

I wonder what this insular branch will nominate. Aside from Lincoln... lol.

[dlong5665]

This is a very good sign for The Master and Beasts. I think The Master still might be a little too artsy for their tastes and, unfortunately, I believe they're going to skip on it. Beasts is an absolutely wonderful score and I could see the going for it, especially if it ends up in Picture.

Also, am I the only one who thinks an animated film will sneak into here? My money is on Elfman's masterful Frankenweenie score but Wreck-It-Ralph's score has a lot of love. They do tend to nominate animated films in here so I'd say keep an eye on it.

[babz]

didn't Moonrise score come from previously recorded orchestra? I think that's why it's not eligible and Les Mis comes from the stage play, so not original either.

[Aaron Leggo]

I hope After the Wizard gets nominated because I have no idea what the hell that is. And Saint Dracula! That needs a Melissa Leo-esque FYC campaign.

Also, super awesome that Jonny Greenwood's score is actually eligible this time around. I'd love to see him get a nomination, although I doubt it'll happen.

I figure Life of Pi and Lincoln are both in, though.

[faina]

Skyfall is eligible? Does it look good for Adele?

[Jeff Beachnau]

I hope After the Wizard gets nominated because I have no idea what the hell that is..

Why wasn't this eligible for Best Makeup?

[Jonathan]

I wonder what this insular branch will nominate. Aside from Lincoln... lol.

One or both of the Picture-nominated Middle-East Desplat scores should get in with relative ease. After that, who knows. I'm gonna pull for Beasts hope-against-hope.

[erikdean]

One or both of the Picture-nominated Middle-East Desplat scores should get in with relative ease. After that, who knows. I'm gonna pull for Beasts hope-against-hope.

I think Beasts will make it but I also think Desplat has a very good chance of being double nommed.

[Shy_Hallaman]

I was pretty sure Moonrise would be nominated. Had no idea it used pre-exisiting music.

[erikdean]

I was pretty sure Moonrise would be nominated. Had no idea it used pre-exisiting music.

Really? Most of Wes Anderson's films use pre-existing music. So much so that it's the predominant musical feature in his movies, like Tarantino (which is also ineligible).

[nadine]

Rust and Bone isn't eligible either. Hmm Desplat will have to get in for Argo or Zero instead. My favourite score of the year, which I knew already was ineligible was Quartet. The score that wasn't from other works was Marianelli at his best.

Well, I had no idea. Moonrise was my first Wes.

[russen18]

alot of people were in a panic that Anna Karenina's wouldnt get nominated cause it uses some Russian Folk music incorporated in it. Truly the best score of the year, but I am happy if Johnny Greenwood takes it, having lost to Marianelli back in 2007 with Atonement. Oh wait he wasnt nominated for There Will Be Blood right?

[Elliott?]

Beasts and Wreck-It Ralph MUST HAPPEN.
