It is weird how the Academy is keener to reward foreigners than their own in this category (which is one thing if they're deserved, but...). I assume that's what the poll is for, because I don't want to associate nationality with talent (you can blame the US for Steve Jablonsky, but not for Trevor Rabin*). He's also got as many as Elmer Bernstein and Fred Karlin (yes, winning for Best Song counts). *He's South African. |

So...let's see. My picks for undeserving Best Score Oscars winners are below. Bold means that the Academy really f***ed up that year. NOTE: this list is highly subjective! 2005 - Brokeback Mountain - Gustavo Santaolalla 2004 - Finding Neverland - Jan A P Kaczmarek 2000 - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - Tan Dun 1998 - Shakespeare in Love - Stephen Warbeck 1997 - The Full Monty - Anne Dudley [b]1995 - Il Postino - Luis Bacalov 1992 - Aladdin - Alan Menken 1989 - The Little Mermaid - Alan Menken 1987 - The Last Emperor - Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne & Cong Su 1986 - 'Round Midnight - Herbie Hancock 1983 - The Right Stuff - Bill Conti 1982 - ET: The Extra Terrestrial - John Williams 1981 - Chariots of Fire - Vangelis 1980 - Fame - Michael Gore 1979 - A Little Romance - Georges Delerue 1978 - Midnight Express - Giorgio Moroder 1973 - The Way We Were - Marvin Hamlisch 1972 - Limelight - Charles Chaplin, Raymond Rasch & Larry Russell 1970 - Love Story - Francis Lai 1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Burt Bacharach 1967 - Thoroughly Modern Millie - Elmer Bernstein 1963 - Tom Jones - John Addison 1954 - The High and the Mighty - Dimitri Tiomkin Hmmm...in my books, this seems to be a somewhat more recent problem. How I wish the winners would be decided by just the Musical Branch! ![]() CK |

Come on guys! Goldsmith won because of Herrmann. The latter cancelled himself out with his two nominations. BTW, my vote is NO. - The question is, Best Score of a Hollywood Picture or Best Score of a Non-Hollywood Picture. Winners of the former segment build a large majority. And yet, Santaolalla shouldn't have won. He has as many Oscars as John Addison, Charles Chaplin (Best Score for Limelight), Cong Su... (ok, I stop here). He has one more than Richard Rodney Bennett, William Walton, Ralph Vaughn Williams, Toru Takemitsu or Christopher Young. Giorgio Moroder has still more Oscars than S. |
