So give the damn Oscar to the original composer, not Santoalla. Besides, even if it's a perfect fit, it leads to a less than compelling listen. I can't imagine a lot of people who would listen to the entire album, and the tracks that are actually good, they're ripped off from other sources. The only original track that I like is the end credits, I'll give Santoalla credit for that, but it always seems to lack any compelling thematic drive that would truly resonate with listeners. You'll argue that it's already memorable, but tp me, it's one wasted opportunity.
