The soundtrack for War Horse, by John Williams, is nominated for best original score. (Amazon)
The nominees for the Academy Awards were announced earlier this week. This year's musical picks include only two "best original song" choices - the lowest number ever. And, this year's "best original score" category includes two separate John Williams works - making him the most nominated composer in Oscar history. Jon Burlingame, who writes about film and television music, joins us to talk about who made the cut - and who didn't.

One has to wonder if the 2 williams scores will split the vote as they have in previous years...leaving it open for "Hugo" or "The Artist"
Well there goes the entertainment at the Oscars...
Yeah, that "Muppet" song is terrific -- right up there with Mancini's "Moonriver" (not!)
I mean, why bother? What drivel.
I thought for sure something from RANGO should have gotten it. The music was fabulous!
