Alexandre Desplat was so wise to incorporate classical music into the film. Plus the score he wrote has the equal beauty and expression like Mozart's and Beethoven's pieces.
I LOVED the King's Speech, and I like the music, but honestly! In terms of music, True Grit should of won - it had such a beautiful theme, so touching.
the social network is best...and inception soundtrack too...thanks to God this film didn't win in this category...it was enough with the best picture category
@hchacon8 Social Network sucked. the plot sucked and there was barely a soundtrack. As for inception, Zimmer is too big and brash and clumsy. Black Swan should have won best picture and this best soundtrack
@Medusa0999 i agree with you that black swan is an amazing film ( maybe the best of the year), and it is a shame that it didn't receive an oscar nomination for the soundtrack instead the king's speech.
this music was written hundreds of years ago by beethoven, it is amazing but i dont know if it qualifies to win an oscar seeing as how it took no effort to just get the music score and have people play it instead of actually writing it sepcifically for this movie
@sorcha425 I would have to disagree with that. I think both Alexandre Desplat and Trent Raznor deserved Oscars. Each of their compositions were excellent. The complexity behind Reznor's work may just seem like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo though to some people, which is understandable. However, I do personally find Alexandre's simplicity more intriguing. The Social Network soundtrack definitely reflects today's society and the same goes for The King's Speech and the time period then.
@goofygobber101 Okay, let's just say that personally I didn't care for The Social Network soundtrack. I usually judge a soundtrack on how it enhances the film, and the King's Speech is the better of the two. But I can respect your view :)
@sorcha425 An Oscar for Best Music is for original music for a film, not the soundtrack itself.
1/2 -- An Oscar for music is for music that makes the film whole. Music so good, that it's the best possible music for that film and no other music could fit.
While I love Alexandre Desplat (and I personally think he was robbed of the Oscar for Benjamin Button), his score for this film was so mediocre (strictly just my opinion) and I don't think it was the best music for this film.
The score for the Social Network was new, fresh and it was the perfect music for that film. Without that music, the film wouldn't be what it was and wouldn't have felt whole without it. That's why I'm glad it won. It served its film better than any of the other nominated scores served their films.
@sorcha425 yeah i agree. there was nothing that very unique or super amazing in that score at all for Social Network, even if it was a good movie. King's Speech score is very unique and strikingly emotional and bittersweet. the social network's score sounded too dark and brooding.....
@sorcha425 Such beautiful music. Either this or Inception because that music was pretty damn good. But with those stupid beats of beep boop bopp. Are you serious? I could do that if I had time and a keyboard. It was so average. King Speech music actually took time to make. Social Network music is so over rated and irritating for the most part. Totally agree with you.
@sorcha425 The social network with its stupid story of facebook even being nominated for any Oscar is a joke.. I lost respect to the academy awards after this! Not even "Amelie" was nominated for best soundtrack in 2001!
Who was the pianist in this recording??

It's a pity it didn't win the Oscars... but most of it is recycled stuff from Beethoven's works. Just shows how much good old Ludwig was =P

@hchacon8 FYI, the reason Black Swan didn't get a nom was because 80-85% of its score was derived from Tchaikovsky.
