Special Award:

  • Cloverfield (End credit cue titled “Roar!”) (Michael Giacchino)
    I didn’t feel quite justified putting this on the main score list, since it’s only the end credits that got any score. So, it gets a special award all it’s own. Were it on the main list, it’d still be right up there by the top of the list…

Disqualified (non-original or no music score):

  • Funny Games
    I don’t think this had any original score.
  • Vicky Christina Barcelona
    The usual Woody Allen routine of tracking in quaint songs
