I couldn't agree more. Santaolalla is the luckiest man in Hollywood, and he now has more Oscars than Bernard Hermann, Alex North, Ennio Morricone, and Danny Elfman combined. He's also now tied with Goldsmith, Bernstein, and Delerue.

Travesty, I say!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yup, only one. He was nominated a lot more than that, of course. And the one win he did have was for almost an insult--"Thoroughly Modern Millie," a movie based on a preexisting musical:

That's like Danny Elfman winning an Oscar for "Best Score" for the 10 mins of music he wrote for Chicago.

How ya doing, buddy?

Very much so. He should give that back, and steal the one Vangelis got in 1982 to take its place

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
