Blinded by Incumbents, and Deaf to New Talents

The 2011 Golden Globes nominations have just been released and I am interested in just 3 categories. Best Actress - Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole, Best film, and Best Original Score.

Needless to say, I am 100% behind HHTYD for Best original score. Sadly speaking, not going to happen.

Imagine my utter horror that it was not even NOMINATED.

I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES.

WHAT THE FUCK!?

I'm so frigging pissed! In order to even get nominated for the Oscars, it is crucial to get as much pre-oscar buzz as possible. I felt that the Golden Globes nominee results is a terrible blow to the HHTYD OST's chances. Damn it! Doubtlessly, many netizens agree with me that HHTYD's soundtrack is the best in the year so far! I really felt that the awards groups are DEAF and BLIND.

Blinded by incumbent composers, and deaf to new talents.

So the nominees are....
Rahman (127), Desplat (the King's Speech), Zimmer (Inception), Elfman (Alice in Wonderland), two composers for The Social Network.

HONESTLY, THE SOCIAL NETWORK AND ALICE IN WONDERLAND?! I have read reviews of Alice in Wonderland, and i assure you that talk about the soundtrack is practically non-existent. I felt that the only true contender against HHTYD had been Zimmer's Inception score. But The Social Network and Alice in Wonderland!? REALLY!? Did they even hear the stuff?

IMO, the best music is not about how innovative it is. It really is about how it fits with the movie. In this aspect, HHTYD beat them all hands down. The track is like another character to the entire film. HHTYD has got the 4th D from its music that the others in that list lacked.

To be honest, I have no seen 127 nor The King's Speech yet. But I assure you, they will not beat the bar set by HHTYD.

HOLLYWOOD YOU SUCK. PERIOD.

(ALICE IN WONDERLAND?!?)
