Best Original Score
The brilliant aural artists are...
Atonement Dario Marianelli |
Lust, Caution Alexandre Desplat |
Paprika Susumu Hirasawa |
There Will Be Blood Jonny Greenwood |
Youth Without Youth Osvaldo Golijov |
Romantic, inventive, moving, awe-inspiring perfection. |
If I could, I'd build a shrine to him in the holiest region of Nepal. Just sayin'. |
A wondrous technological dreamscape - perfect for the film. |
By far the most terrifying music I've ever listened to. Ku-dos, man. |
Cautiously classic and beautiful. They don't make 'em like this anymore. |

Best Make-Up
The transformers are...
Atonement |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age |
The Golden Compass |
La Vie en Rose |
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street |
From Cecilia's stylishness to Briony's never-changing haircut, it's all amazing work. |
Elizabeth's endless supply of wigs are so insanely drool-worthy. |
Mrs. Coulter's deceiving nature is displayed suberbly in the way she's made-up. |
Through all the ages of her life, the make-up does a lot more than astound. |
In typical Burton-esque style. Only a lot more emo-looking. And I'm cool with that. |

Best Visual Effects
The digital witches are...
The Golden Compass |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix |
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End |
Sunshine |
300 |
Somewhat experimental, and it pays off. |
The best so far in the series. Very lively. |
Consistently amazing - but like it's hard for them. |
As awe-inspiring as VFX have ever been. |
Uber-stylistic and beefcake-y perfection. |
