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.

The digital witches are...

The Golden Compass

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.
