12 Days of Oscar: Day 10 - Music

I could go into the scores and songs that have already racked up awards this awards season.  However, I am going to keep this particular entry short.  My favorites and who I think the Academy will pick based on previous buzz.

Original Score Nominees

1) Anna Karenina - Dario Marianelli
2) Argo - Alexandre Desplat
3) Life of Pi - Mychael Danna
4) Lincoln - John Williams
5) Skyfall - Thomas Newman

Am I wrong or does Skyfall still rely on some of the traditional 007 riffs? Argo was a great soundtrack but not necessarily the best score.  John Williams is John Williams and always a factor. 

My Favorite: Anna Karenina

My Oscar Prediction: Life of Pi


Original Song Nominees

1) "Before my Time" from Chasing Ice - Music and Lyric by J. Ralph
2) "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from Ted - Music by Walter Murphy, Lyric by Seth MacFarlane
3) "Pi's Lullaby" from Life of Pi - Music by Mychael Danna, Lyric by Bombay Jayashri
4) "Skyfall" from Skyfall - Music and Lyric by Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth
5) "Suddenly" from Les Miserables - Music by Claude Michael-Schonberg and Lyric by Herbert Kretzmer and Alain Boublil

Why is there a discussion here.

My Favorite:  "Skyfall"

My Oscar Prediction: "Skyfall"
