This is one of the most impressive and innovative scores in a film to date. The interpretation of emotion on a drum set at this depth only demonstrated how deeply connected the composer was with the film, and the drumming was pure genius. Limiting a film score to conventional composition/orchestration format should not be part of the criteria for consideration in the Oscars. Daring to break the rules for the sake of creativity only demonstrated the uniqueness of the film and an advancement in film production as a whole.
