Pretty cool, good for him! Although I gotta say I can't remember a thing about the music, good or bad. The soundtrack really took a backseat to the rest of the movie.

Good for him, I guess. The Oscars, like any award show, are really just a sham.

Now all that remains is a belated Oscar to Ulver for "Svidd Neger"...

Black Swan should have won for best original score. But if I were to give out the oscars, Black Swan would have won everything xD (I missed the King's Speech, so I don't know how overrated that movie is). And yes Inception sucked.

Written by Yojimbo on 28.02.2011 at 13:08 Totally agree with you. I don't get what all of these awards are about! I think it's about how much the producer company pays! P.S. I hate Facebook and everything related!

Written by Behdaad on 28.02.2011 at 15:51 The Social Network was actually a pretty decent movie.... sure it was mainstream but it was really well done, the opening dialog alone took 99 takes for them to nail it.

Written by Marcus on 28.02.2011 at 10:42 I agree. I dont really remember anything from the soundtrack as well. Maybe I was too busy focussing on the dialogue? But good to know they won. I liked the movie and I think they deserved the other winnings.

Written by 4look4rd on 28.02.2011 at 15:41 It was actually an adaptation from a Tchaikovsky piece so it was ineligible, although I agree, the music in the movie was incredbile.

The soundtrack was amazing and very unique for filmscore music. It had a really cool electronic manage with some piano parts. The soundtrack from Inception is great but too much from the same.

Written by [user id=103388] on 02.03.2011 at 06:01 I see your point. But you are using really well-known artists (and a real piece of crap called Green Day) as examples; I've seen many NIN videos in MTV, which makes him not precisely non-mainstream. I would consider bands such as Disgorge, Love Like Blood or Elegeion to be trully underground/non-mainstream.
