The first time there have been 9 nominations for one particular globe. The choice has fallen to Ennio Morricone's score, knowing little of this year apart from several entries, it might be another win with several reservations. Sure, it will sound good but weren't there other scores that sounded better?

If there was one score that sounded unique all the way through the movie, it had to be The Truman Show. And this beat more or less the other scores with a deserved golden globe win. Still, what the animated Mulan and The Prince of Egypt offered wasn't bad either, on the contrary actually.

Golden Globes usually construct the road for winners because there is a large chance that they will travel it again on the Oscar gala, and one of those examples is Titanic's all conquering tour. Horner took those two statues with the fullest approval and seized again when the song category arrived. Talk about having a good day.

No Randy Newman. No Alan Menken. Yes Gabriel Yared. Sometimes its that predictable, The English Patient's enormous success resulted in massive nominations and wins for Oscar and Golden Globe categories. Others, even those that got used to winning were left standing in the dark.

Okay, nice win for Maurice Jarre but ignoring Apollo 13? They must have had a good explanation. Sometimes I simply don't understand these decisions and Horner's impressive score deserved to be nominated alongside Braveheart and the others, and Menken's spell keeps working for the time being.

The Lion King has always been one of Zimmer's best and biggest successes but Horner deserved this more I guess, at least this Golden Globe since he wasn't nominated for an Oscar. Forrest Gump was another attractive winner and Goldenthal received also the attention, but did they listen to it in the first place?

I have mixed feelings, even though Schindler's List is classic all the way, there is some point that respects Kitaro's win. From what I have heard it is at least equally impressive, in its own right. For the rest, especially Elfman's quirky entrance is a rather nice surprise.

Menken winning both Oscar and Globe, where have I heard this before? Still, it bothers me that on half the occasions the end result wasn't worth it. I mean, do these guys listen to soundtracks in the first place. With Jones' effort, not Edelman's part and Goldsmith's sexy score we had far better candidates.

Okay, Disney's magic spawns wide and far, they even resulted in no nominations for Backdraft and Hook, sometimes they even amaze me further when other lesser known scores are nominated in their place. Sure, they will have some kind of effect, but why do I never hear anything of them to prove me otherwise, and that also includes the winner, those several tracks didn't convince me.

Which score, who composed it? Right, I simply know as much as many probably know of this score, but still it has beaten Dances with Wolves and other unknown contenders. Sometimes they work in mysterious ways and making the ceremony more of a mystery, but not always giving the deserved and correct answer to the riddle.
