What are your toughts? The English Patient score. A really forgotten score, Oscar winner in 1996.
Weak year for scores, a deserved win for The English Patient?
The English Patient- Gabriel Yared ( winner)
Hamlet- Patrick Doyle
Michael Collins- Elliot Goldenthal
Shine -David Hirschfelder
Sleepers- John Williams

I wouldn't call it a weak year for scores. I think The English Patient, Sleepers and Michael Collins are all top notch.
Remember, there was a separate category for Musical or Comedy Score that year, which Rachel Portman won for her delightful Emma score.
Other notable scores (for me) that year would be Mark Isham's Fly Away Home, Basil Poledouris's It's My Party, George Fenton's Mary Reilly, David Newman's Matilda, Randy Newman's Michael, Thomas Newman's Phenomenon, Philip Glass's The Secret Agent, Christopher Young's Set It Off, with an honorable mention to Jerry Goldsmith's The Ghost and the Darkness. I'm sure you all have different choices.
But back to your original question: I think Yared's score is excellent, and I still listen to it with some regularity.

It's a fine score. Didn't we just discuss it in another thread (or perhaps that was THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY)?
I remember I got the album when it came out, was bored with it (too slow for an impatient young teen), sold it, then several years passed until I rediscovered Yared in the early 2010s. Reacquired it in digital form, along with several other Yareds, and have enjoyed it since in all its slow, romantic, operatic form.
I rate both MICHAEL COLLINS and SLEEPERS ahead of it, but its win is deserved, yes.
