I want to say that the Desplat win for GBH this year was up there among the most disappointing Oscars that I've experienced, but I'm afraid to do so lest Morricone (the FSM member, not the composer) wishes death upon me and my whole family.
Yes, it's almost as risky as drawing caricatures.

The one complaint I have against the Oscars is the piling on of nominations for a single film. Sometimes it is deserved, most times not.
And "best score" is one of the "nods" that often gets thrown into the single film pile. I liked THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, and I like Alexandre Desplat, but his score for this film was not amongst his top drawer efforts, with all due respect for the needs of the film. Their are countless other Oscar winners whose result was no doubt aided by the pile-on effect. No need to list them. You all know who they are.
And, of course, Oscar has their "darlings", of which Desplat is a recent beneficiary. John Williams is another (which I happen to love). Zimmer of late. Seems like the same guys every year recently cycling through. But that has been the case with various composers since the 60's.
