Do you think that this score can have an Oscar nomination? I think this is a good score, and since Howard wasn't nominated for The Sixth Sense, wich I think was dum, this time he has a chance.
Do you agree?

I'd love to see him nominated, but... this depends of many factors. Do the academy members will be remembering late-summer sci-fi movie? For me Signs is a great movie, I don't know if it was praised or slammed in America. If Signs will be considered at other nominations, it could get also for a best score. This is the best score this year so far and for me it won Oscar already ( I must wait for The Two Towers to be sure on that )

This score needs to be nominated. But you can't trust the academy to EVER do anything right.

That's true, but recently the best score award win the scores that have a classical-touch like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' or 'Red Violin'. LOTR belongs also more to this category than the typical hollywood-sounding score, so maybe Signs uniqe mood might have some chance...in duel with The Two Towers
