Each year, NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday does a three-part series in which they profile the year's Oscar-nominated film scores. Part One was yesterday. I haven't heard all of the scores this year -- in fact, I've heard only two (Road to Perdition and Catch Me If You Can) -- but I'm rooting for Elmer Bernstein and his score for Far From Heaven. Bernstein is the current dean of film music composers. (I do think that James Newton Howard's score to Signs should have been nominated, probably in place of Catch Me If You Can, which I don't even think was John Williams's best score of last year.)
