Oscar Winners; Animation and Best Score

Ratatouille won for Animated Feature, but my heartfelt favorites are the stop motion folks who put together the animation short Peter & the Wolf, and director Suzie Templeton.
I adore your film, and thank you for creating it.


Peter & the Wolf




Best Original Score; Dario Marianelli, Atonement

NPR Movie Music 2008: Oscar-Nominated Scores

Every year Weekend Edition Sunday (WE Sun) does a Best Original Score roundup and it is one of my favorite stories of the year. Film-music specialist Andy Trudeau really digs into the music and describes, in depth, the different styles, instrumentation, and other touches that composers use. It always draws me in and instills in me the desire to listen to music and not just hear it.
