... IMO these Awards are kind of silly. .. Going back to my favorite year in film music, 1960, I don't believe that Psycho was even nominated...granted a strong year for movie music but.... Whatever the year, whatever the award, whatever the planet or the universe... you simply CANNOT ignore a score like "Psycho"! (Leave out "The Alamo" - and I'm a Tiomkin fan - or "Elmer Gantry", I don't know... OK, not "Magnificent 7" or "Spartacus", that would also be a criminal act.) As for 1994, I can't believe nobody mentioned "Wyatt Earp" yet! Now, if that score were nominated instead of TLK it would have been a killer list - one of the very few cases where I would be perfectly fine with any score of the five winning!

As I thought Psycho was not nominated. Besides Evodus, The Alamo, Spartacus and Magnificent 7 Andre Previn's score for Elmer Gantry made the cut. If it was up to me Either replace the Previn...which is pretty good with Psycho or give Herrmann a special award for scaring the living daylights of all movie goes Igor all time. I had no problem with Exodus winning or if Tiomkin's magnum opus won but my favorite that year and for all time is Spartacus. I had no idea that Wyatt Earp was also up to be considered for 1994. I have no idea what original music Hans Zimmer brought to The Lion King but I consider Wyatt Earp to be James Newton Howard's greatest achievement. So 1994 was a pretty good year as well. In any case all of us can go on about the nominations and ultimate winners and disagree till the end of time. I can only state which scores I enjoyed the most...
