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
