OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL SCORE

Clint Mansell for Black Swan

Alexandre Desplat for The Ghost Writer

John Powell for How to Train Your Dragon

Hans Zimmer for Inception

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross for The Social Network


AND THE WINNER:


CLINT MANSELL FOR BLACK SWAN

This is the first win and second nomination for Clint Mansell. He was previously nominated for The Fountain (2006).

While Mansell's score does feature a lot of the Swan Lake score and a lot of Mansell's work is deconstructing the famous score I think there was enough original music there and all the music was used so brilliantly throughout the film that Black Swan was the only choice I could make for a winner. The score is so effective that i can listen to it during and outside the film and still have the same reaction towards it. It truly is some beautiful work being done by Mansell.
