    An excellent list. I am between THE KITE RUNNER and EASTERN PROMISES, both equally beautiful.

    But i am very curious as to what the Eastwood is doing there; i've seen it in another set of nominations for this year and i was wondering if it's just there 'cause of the name? Has anyone actually heard it yet?

    Is Eastwood the new Santaolalla?! shocked wink

    If those are the best of 2007.....let´s go to 2008 now.
    Every year the nominees are worse and worse.
    Marianelli (still has to top his "Vendetta" score), Shore (still living on LOTR fame) and Iglesias (man does he always sounds the same or what?) in the same list (no comment about Eastwood or Brook); unbeliabable.

    Don't agree at all. Eastern Promises is a very fine and delicate melodic score with absolutely gorgeous soli whilst THE KITE RUNNER is probably the most colorful blend of world music with western musical traits of this year. Have you heard those 2? If yes, then i can't understand why you don't like them; must be something with the Spaniards against Shore, then? tongue

    Yes, Eastern Promises is a melodic score....but we could find (in 2007) plenty of melodic scores much better that that.
    As for Alberto Iglesias, I have not heard "The Kite Runner" (I´m about to do it soon though), but he always sounds the same to me in the movies and he is always nominated / awarded for doing that in the Spanish Awards, while far better composers (Roque Baños for example) are still waiting.

    I think that, being objective, we could find not five but more scores that would deserve to be in that list. Come on, Eastwood for the best score? Brook? vomit

    Brook is actually a rather excellent performer and a very able composer, i like his moody sound-design and nostalgic melodies wink As for THE KITE RUNNER, believe me, it's not one from the same. Listen to it smile

    The only two on that list that I've heard are Atonement and Eastern Promises, so I don't have much of an opinion. Truth be told, I was really disappointed with Eastern Promises on CD. I find it achingly difficult to get through an entire listen, but it was highly effective in the film and understand it's nomination.

    Atonement is just great. Period. As for the others, I'm looking forward to hearing Kite Runner and Into the Wild, but I honestly don't have high expectations for the Eastwood score. On or off the screen, the man's music has never done anything for me. Time he hired a real composer.

    I've only heard Atonement and Eastern Promises, and I think they're both very fine and very worthy. I do want to hear Kite Runner too, hopefully I'll pick that one up. Surprised that Desplat's not there.

    Haven't heard The Kite Runner yet

    Just got back from seeing Atonement, and funny to see it's got so much nominations! Especially since I got a bet with the friend I went to see it with; he didn't like it and couldn't believe this would become 'the Oscar film', but I said it would win big. Despite what you think of it, it is a typical Oscar film smile (even if we're here just talking about the Globes).

    Glad it's nominated, though, it's a gorgeous film (and I just love the cinematography!).

    Atonement and Eastern Promises are both good, though Shore's score doesn't really do much for the (very fine) film however, it's so one-dimensional with barely a moment that actually gives you a sense of drama - intrigue, or tension or anything else. It makes for a very nice cd though.

    I've having a hard time getting into The Kite Runner at the moment.

    I've been having the same trouble actually. This surprises me, as THE CONSTANT GARDENER was so good, and I figured he'd be in relatively similar territory here, just with different instruments.

    I do agree that outside of the two stunning opening tracks, EASTERN PROMISES probably isn't that exceptional. Are those first two tracks actually used in the film?

    They should've nominated PoTC: At World's End, IMHO, that was a great score. But if not, then I guess I'm rooting for Eastern Promises, that's the best score in the current selection smile

    But were you into The Constant Gardener right away, or did you have to listen to that one a few times as well, before it really got you? Because I've had the same experience with both scores; it didn't get me right away, but it did after a while. They're both different, but in a certain way, also the same.

    Hard to tell, as I heard the album for CONSTANT GARDENER a couple of months after seeing the film for the first time. In this case, I'm not particularly interested in seeing the film. The music gives me the impression that this one a film where motivations are pretty simple, and the music has to be speak very directly to that. One thing CG had in common with some of his more jazz-orchestral scores was a strong sense of ambiguity - it was a thriller score first and foremost. This is a film about good-hearted people and the happy times they've lost if the music is anything to go by.

    EDIT - Having said that, I'm listening to it now, and there's certainly some fine writing here. 'Kite Tournament' certainly has a nice little story to tell.

    Michael, give it some time mate. You'll find that it's an absolutely gorgeously colored score and the last 3 pieces are some of the most touching and sensitive writing Iglesias has showcased so far. (with 3 i also include the last vocal piece, the beautiful hymn which is not Iglesias' if i recall correctly).
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Something else didn't seem quite right, and now I figured out what it was, when the advance score album for INTO THE WILD showed up. Then I checked the Paramount/Vantage "for your consideration" listing, and saw:

    BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
    Music by
    Michael Brook
    with Kaki King and Eddie Veder

    And yet the HFPA only nominated Veder. One more reason why the Golden Globes aren't worth squat.

    Maybe Brook, King and Schwartz can crash the party....

    I only heard Atonement and The Kite Runner from that list and my vote would go to Dario Marianelli.
    It looks like the Golden Globes ceremony is up in the air because of the writers' strike. So is the Oscars...

    Well, the Golden Globe ceremony has been cancelled! shocked Which means the writers strike is really causing more trouble then would have been foreseen! Wow. Let's hope the Academy Awards will be cancelled too tongue wink

    Attempts to save the Golden Globes ceremonies devolved quickly Monday evening as the famed broadcast was reduced from a three-hour gala to a one-hour press conference -- most likely with no stars, no parties and WGA pickets.

    As I said in my now sinking post before seeing this one:

    ''I'm kinda glad the writers strike is messing stuff up this much. Sure it sucks for us, but at least the studios might finally realise screwed up this whole thing is. As long as I can hold out on lots of old 70's shows until everything is sorted I should be fine.''
