Saturday Playlist #20: Oscar's Greatest Scores

One category in tomorrow's Oscars that I'm actually interested in is the one the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences don't call "Best Score", but just "Music (Original Score)", the word "Best" deemed unsavoury in these modern times when it's all about the taking part, not the winning. Unless it's "Best Picture" you're after.

What better way to prepare for Hans Zimmer being crowned King Of Brrraaaaaaaaaaahmmmm, then, than by casting our hearholes over some of the bestest tuneage to win an Oscar from the last seven decades? No better way, that's what better way.

So sit back, turn up the speaker devices and pray for Der Zimmer as you...

    It may just be the angle, but it does look like Oscar has done a Roberto Baggio and spooned it hopelessly over the bar.

    This playlist is a wonderful appetiser for the Academy Awards. A forgotten pleasure was the Vangelis.

    Doubtless the Crouching Blogger, Hidden Suit will be hoping Zimmer will net an Oscar. My hope is for John Powell for his brilliant score for 'How To Train Your Dragon' which makes the ordinary into the extraordinary.

    Anyway, a sublime playlist. I greet each new playlist with eager anticipation.
