Book Thief was good Williams, but not great.
Saving Mr. Banks contained way too much Mary Poppins. I was surprised it was eligible.
Phenomena was very good but Desplat can write a score like that in his sleep.
Her was just kinda ...there. I LOVED the film, but the score didn't do anything for me.
Gravity is a very effective score within the film that builds to an uplifting crescendo that folks remember as they finish watching the film.

The surprise for me was the song from Frozen. I hadn't heard it before. And all I'd read about it would have led me to believe that it was the greatest song since the heyday of Menken and Ashman. Color me surprised when I heard wannabe pop drivel, tuneless, with awful "empowerment" lyrics and - no ending. If that's someone's idea of a great song, count me out. Then again, the other nominees were much worse. I don't know, call me crazy but Moon River is a great song, Part Of Your World is a great song, Beauty and the Beast is a great song, Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing is a great song - Let It Go - I don't think so, IMO.

:Facepalm: The song is essential to the film. If you haven't seen it, then no wonder you won't understand the lyrics.
I don't have to see the film to know a great song when I hear it. Facepalm to you. You think I need to see Wizard of Oz to know that Over the Rainbow is a great song? I don't (I have, of course, but I don't). Think I need to see Beauty and the Beast to know that Belle is a great song? I don't. This song, for ME, was pap, tuneless in the way of so many wannabe pop songs, with awkward lyrics. Glad you like it, facepalm.
