No Jerry Goldsmith. No John Williams. No Max Steiner. Alexandre Desplat already won twice in the past five years.
So the Academy Award for Best Original Score went to Swedish composer Ludwig Görannson for his work on “Black Panther.”
Actually, there was some John Williams, during the “In Memoriam” segment, for which Gustavo Dudamel conducted the wheat field music from “Superman.” Here’s how it was heard in the movie.
Which reminds me, why did no one tell me that Albert Finney died???
Music from “Black Panther,” who by the way was one of my favorite comic book characters when I was a kid, so don’t think I’m hating on T’challa!
