2012 Golden Globe Nominees for Best Score

The 70th Annual Golden Globes Nominees have been announced.  As we do here at Tracksounds, we present the most important category for the soundtrack-genius right up front!  You'll likely find this year's nominees fairly predictable.  Zero Dark Thirty might be the more intriguing score from Desplat this year, but it was inevitable that he'd get at least one of his scores nominated.  Below the original score and original song nominees, you'll find all the rest of this years noms.  Let us know what you think.  Do you think some other score got slighted here?
