Not Is The Lion in Winter Best Score

[@johnhaughey8346]

Jerry Goldsmith"s haunting score for "Planet Of The Apes" was groundbreaking for it's time and was the best of that year in my opinion.

[@thatguy20861]

The Lion in Winter score is transcendent. The final scene secured it.

[@rustincohle2135]

Yes, Apes should have won.

[@UXB-p5u]

Each of us have our own particular favourite scores. My late father and John were childhood friends here in York many....many year's ago so I'm obviously biased however the Lion in Winter is without question one of John's best scores and considering his remarkable history that says a lot.

[@johnhaughey8346]

His score for MIDNIGHT COWBOY is also one of his most memorable.

[@NjabuloPhungula]

Great score!

[@slycinema4502]

Yes

[@jimmyl324]

Good movie scores that year

[@koln1996]

And now we have to put up with such "classy" presenters as Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel!!!
The horrible times we live in deserve such horrible people, I suppose!!!

[@MLSilva9]

I agree with you! It's so much shit pushed by our throat inside does not it? Unfortunate .. the classical era has passed and no have more "Movies and Oscars" as before .. what a shame!

[@cjatl266]

U PREFER THAT OLD HAG INSTEAD I SEE.

[@TheTerryE]

Worse, was having the star of the WORST FILM OF 2013 -- Will Smith -- present Best Picture this year.

[@kflappers]

Completely agree.

[@paulinayexannihtorres1709]

John Barry is Not Coming To Oscar From Best Score From The Lion in Winter is The Score From On Her Majesty's Secret Service

[@deacondavis5098]

John Barry earned that score!!

[@dldee912]

Oscars Where are the videos of the last Academy Awards?

[@aagold76]

A little anti gay humor- Boy's in the Band is a gay play/film

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

Planet of the Apes should've won!

[@paulinayexannihtorres1709]
