My bet is on Chronicles, Kong, and War of the Worlds.

Geisha and Walk the Line are the weakest links in this category and i'm curious how they became finalists. Potter was a good movie, but in the same vein of Star Wars, it's a sequel and the fx editing seems to be identical as in the previous movies in the series. So my money is on the newbies.

I'm just chearing for the three film I liked the most: Kong, Line, and Potter. But it won't hurt my feelings if Star Wars gets a nod.

Star Wars, Walk the Line, Kong, Narnia. All worthy of the title. But i would have to say star wars. I wish they had been nominated for best score because John Williams was a genius in Episode III. It brought star wars back from its slum.

Episode III's music didn't add much new (or memorable, for that matter) content to the score of the Star Wars prequels. I found it lame and repetitive.

John Williams will either get an Oscar Nom. for Memoirs of a Geisha or Munich, two very critically aclaimed scores. He also has a long shot to get a nomination for War of the Worlds, although it is unlikely. Oh and Episode III's music is by far the best of the prequels.
