GBU - 2 years late!! Ha ha.
Tough choices there. All great.
At a push id probably - for technical and inventive reasons - have to go for Pota.

For me, The Lion in Winter is a haunting work: the chorus in the main title just reeks of evil; the music for Eleanor's arrival is one of Barry's most sublime, and that choral piece that accompanies the herb garden scene is just gorgeous. That being said, that group of nominated scores may be the best ever. If I had to pick one of those scores, The Lion in Winter is the one. POTA is innovative, brilliant, and deservedly praised, but I think those other three scores don't get the attention they deserve. Schifrin's The Fox is a chilling, lonely chamber piece that also contains an incredible theme. Legrand's score is highly regarded, and Alex North's Shoes of the Fisherman is . . . well, it's Alex North.

Yeah, for me The Fox is Schifrin's best, along with Cool Hand Luke, with Bullitt pretty close, just a couple of car lanes behind.

Don't know which version of The Fox you listened to, but I think the original is much better than the re-recording. I'll check out La Pelle--one of the few Schifrin scores I don't have.

Who would you have voted for or who do you think should have won?
Now yer 50 years too late, zooba, but since you asked:
1. Les Biches by Pierre Jansen
2. No Way To Treat A Lady by Stanley Myers
3. Rapporto Fuller, base Stoccolma by Armando Trovajoli
4. Dark of the Sun by Jacques Loussier
5. Shalako by Robert Farnon
And the winner is ... Pierre Jansen for Les Biches

Nice selection. And my pick is: Jacques Loussier for Dark of the Sun

I liked Barry's score for "The Lion In Winter" though my first choice would've been Goldsmith's score for "Planet Of The Apes".

I'm fine with THE LION IN WINTER, but probably would have voted for PLANET OF THE APES myself. Also: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY was unfortunately missing from the list. In any case, a great selection of worthy scores got nominated, can't include them all. LION IN WINTER is certainly one of Barry's strongest scores ever, and was indeed Oscar worthy.

ZardozSpeaks: Thanks for bringing up No Way To Treat a Lady. Stanley Myers deserves more recognition for his sixties scores.
