1999 Golden Globe Nominations

News flash by Lukas Kendall

Here they are -- and for some bizarre reason, there are a total of 9 nominees for Best Original Score, recollecting those Oscar nominee lists from the '30s with a dozen entries per category. I don't know why this is the case. It's also interesting to see Eyes Wide Shut nominated -- the film has an interesting use of music, but only a percentage is by Pook, and only a smaller percentage is original to the film.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

"American Beauty," Thomas Newman

"Angela's Ashes," John Williams

"Anna and the King," George Fenton

"The End of the Affair," Michael Nyman

"Eyes Wide Shut," Jocelyn Pook

"The Insider," Lisa Gerraro & Pieter Bourke

"The Legend of 1900," Ennio Morricone

"The Straight Story," Angelo Badalamenti

"The Talented Mr. Ripley," Gabriel Yared

The nominations list for the next category is the usual five.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG

"Beautiful Stranger" from "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," Madonna and William Orbit

"How Can I Not Love You" from "Anna and the King," Kenneth Edmonds, George Fenton & Robert Kraft

"Save Me" from "Magnolia," Aimee Mann

"When She Loved Me" from "Toy Story 2," Randy Newman

"You'll Be in My Heart" from "Tarzan," Phil Collins
