AFT Awards: Best Original Score

This is the eleventh category of the 2nd Annual AFT Film Awards to be announced. The AFT Awards are my own personal choices for the best in film of each year and the best in television of each season. The AFT Film Awards include the traditional Oscar categories and a number of additional specific honors. Nominees are pictured in alphabetical order.

The winner:
Waltz with Bashir (Max Richter) was made intensely dramatic and moving by its evocative score (the track “The Haunted Ocean” is my favorite).

Other nominees:
The Duchess (Rachel Portman)
In Bruges (Carter Burwell)
Slumdog Millionaire (A.R. Rahman)
Wanted (Danny Elfman)
