for that instrumental composition nomination,
do they really combine tracks from film scores WITH classical scores?

Well its very clear that "Magnolia" should win for both Score and Songs.

I suppose I could settle for Thomas Newman if John Brion doesn't get it, but Aimee Mann certainly should out of that list.

because "The Egg Travels" is like 2 minutes long, and Angela's Ashes' theme is only 6 minutes, and neither makes great use modern classical techniques. I can't imagine either of them coming close to those classical compositions.

I won't gripe so much if there is a classical category all it's own. there'd better be one, dammit.

perhaps this is something I should pay more attention to.
