    Life of Pi is a very good score but I just don't see how Danna, or anyone else for that matter, can win composer of the year based on one score alone.

    Indeed. What a weird choice of contenders. GRAVITY is heads and shoulders above any of the other nominees.
    I am extremely serious.
  4. of all the score mentione here, Gravity, Rhush, Man of Steel and Godzilla are the only ones that I am familiar with. The Grand Budapest Hotel is on my maybe-list.

  5. Are the nominees for best composer based on quantity rather than quality because that's what it looks like for a lot of the contenders.

  7. Maybe they are thinking ahead to who would possibly be a good candidate for turning up at next year's event if they won?

    Yeah, I often dread this policy with WSA.

    I remember last year, there was talks about Thomas Newman coming THIS year (as he visited as a "tourist" last year), but that never came into fruition.

    I'm kinda waiting for more guests to be announced, as Cliff Martinez -- great as he is -- is a kinda skimpy roster in and of itself. I'm not expecting every year to be like 2010, 2011 and 2012, but with the competition from other festivals, and the name WSA holds internationally, I always expect a bit more.
    I am extremely serious.

    Again a rather curious selection, but my vote goes to Cassidy's CALVARY. Gorgeous score (even though I know D disagrees)!

    Haven't heard anything else in this list, but boy if they're as "good" as Calvary, then that's a shitty list wink Go listen to David Hirschfelder: THE RAILWAY MAN if you want to hear to some beautiful, sentimental music.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  8. Steven Price for The World's End but not the Oscar-winning Gravity? If that doesn't constitute a "discovery" then I don't know what does! dizzy

    Haven't heard that, how is it like?

  9. The World's End? Weird. You can hear a lot of the same sound-manipulation type stuff that goes on in Gravity but done in a much "quirkier" way. It's well-done but I found it a pretty tough listen, actually, and without the redemptive highlights that Gravity had.

    Thanks Ed smile It's definitely not for me then 'cause i can't stand Gravity (film and score) either, except for the final 2 tracks: "Shenzou", "Gravity"

    Can we make a summary of the composers who are confirmed and who might come (rumors)?

    Of the two I am not familiar with, Metro Manila is available on iTunes and Marina is available as a CD from Belgium. I am assuming that they are all available on Spotify?
