Golden Globe Nominees: Best Original Score

My predictions: 1/5, predicting only “Benjamin Button”
Who’s missing? “Australia,” “The Dark Knight,” “Wall-E,” “Milk”

This was my worst category this year, and it really caught me by surprise. I haven’t seen “Defiance,” but I had heard the music was quite good. Additionally, it’s relevant to note that the film was nominated here but not for anything else, indicating that perhaps it won’t factor in too much to this awards season. I can’t even remember the music from “Changeling” and the early version of “Frost/Nixon” that I saw had music from other films in it as filler at that point. I am overjoyed by the inclusion of A.R. Rahman’s superb score from “Slumdog Millionaire.”

Who will win? I’d love to say Slumdog Millionaire, but for now I’ll go with Defiance.
