The Academy awards: Who should win for Best Score?

The Oscars are on this upcoming weekend. While they've never really carried much credibility with me (Did Dances with Wolves really lose to Goodfellas for Best Picture? Please) I do enjoy the 'art' of competition. Here are my thoughts concerning Best Score:

The Social Network? For what?! Trent Reznor made some happy techno music (he remembered the sad for the sad parts though!). That’s it, nothing else. They did get one thing right however. The music DOES fit the film: Pointless, shallow, and makes old people feel cool for voting for it.
127 hours: A.R. Rahman had a great score but he won’t win. He didn’t deserve it for Slumdog Millionaire for the same reasons that TSN doesn’t deserve it now (see above). 127 hours IS a worthy contender though the best music in the film is provided by Sigur Ros and not A.R. Rahman. NEXT!
How to train your Dragon has a great GREAT score, but with one glaring problem. He wrote Scottish music for a film set in Scandinavian Viking territories! Still John Powell is one of my favorites. He won’t win this time, but he'll be back.
Unfortunately I can’t comment on Alexandre Desplat’s score for The King’s speech as I haven’t seen the movie nor heard the score.
That leaves Inception. Though the music was repetitive, obnoxious, and way too loud in the mix, it is the clear winner. Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking: “Are we really ready to reward this guy another trophy when we still haven’t forgiven him for all those cheesy action movie scores like ‘The Rock’? Let alone for accidentally creating 20 million soulless Zimmer wannabees?” The answer is YES. Why? Because his score combines the all too rare qualities of fitting the film perfectly and making the audience feel that no one else would have done it the same way (nor as good). C’mon Hans. Your turn again buddy
