So, the Top 10, roughly in order, is?

Elfman
Shore
Williams
Morricone
erm...Young?
Much as I've come to love Maestro Ennio, I don't see him suddenly becoming a major player in Hollywood again, brand new Oscar notwithstanding (and I especially don't see him putting up with the remarkable amount of B.S. that today's composers are dealing with in the industry; why would he waste his remaining creative years on that?).
Victor Young, of course, has been gone 60 years, while one of my faves, Christopher Young, these days is scoring bigger films in Asia than in the U.S.
So you left out one two-time Oscar nominee (one of whose nominations was for a Best Picture winner), and another composer whose name suggests he could star in the "Operation Kid Brother"-style ripoff of the Wolverine movies.
Because I have so many composers to catch up on, this will actually be a ten-part series, followed by a two-to-three part prequel series.
(in a semi-related note, I just watched After the Thin Man again, and I was intrigued at how prominently the trailer used the word "sequel" -- i didn't know that word was a selling point for the mass moviegoing audience in the 1930s).

Hours after posting that clue, I realized that the person it referred to, Marco Beltrami, was of course already covered in Part Three.
The mystery composer is one who has had a lot of success in recent years in franchises -- one in particular, but entries in other series as well.

FYI, Powell is 52 years old, not 47.

Thanks for catching that ,will fix. Sometimes I forget to double-check details from the 5-years ago version of the series.
