Oscar Predictions: Best Original Score

**Major news: Awardsdaily.com, among others, reports that both THERE WILL BE BLOOD and INTO THE WILD are for some reason not eligible in this category. Therefore, I am replacing "There Will Be Blood" with LUST, CAUTION (alternate: EASTERN PROMISES).**

Still cannot be sure about this one. “The Good German”, which I think only I saw, somehow made it in last year over the brilliant score from “The Fountain”. This year the potential nominees are diverse, such as Johnny Greenwood’s intriguing composition for “There Will Be Blood” or the buoyant themes of “The Kite Runner” or “Ratatouille”. Many, many possibilities, including alternates LUST, CAUTION, INTO THE WILD, GRACE IS GONE, MICHAEL CLAYTON, and EASTERN PROMISES.
