Showdown

High Score

Best Oscar-nominated film score

showdown:oscarscore

You’re strolling up Quality Street headed for Hit Parade when a blockade detours you down Tin Pan Alley. You hear a second chorus, the birth of the blues, some of that jazz. It makes you feel young in heart, carefree, and suddenly you’re on the waterfront, pondering: which ‘10’ of the 800-odd Oscar-nominated scores in Academy history are the giants of them all, the big fish? Who will be the champ? Time to get listing. They shall have music, so strike up the band and see you round midnight!
