It's pretty crazy that both Inception and Interstellar didn't win Best Original Score

When you think of some of the most iconic and best soundtracks of the last decade or so, you will probably think of Interstellar and Inception. So looking back over the Oscar award for Best Original Score I was pretty shocked that they both lost. Inception lost to The Social Network and Interstellar lost to The Grand Budapest Hotel. Both The Social Network and Grand Budapest have great soundtracks but they aren't as memorable.

Hans Zimmer felt like he was innovating with these two scores. Inception using a big orchestra of Brass players to emphasize the notion of time slowing down and making the score sound even more epic. Which went on to be copied A LOT. Then Interstellar utilizing a vast array of organ pipes and also incorporating the notion of a ticking clock into the soundtrack to subconsciously instill a sense of anxiety into the audience. Most of the score was so emotionally charged that it felt like it linked together Cooper and Murph, despite them being galaxies apart. Along with most of the tracks within these two scores being bangers. Like No Time for Caution or a random chase scene in Inception having the best chase music ever called Mombasa.

When you compare these two soundtracks to The Social Network and Grand Budapest it surprises me who ended up winning. Between the two though maybe Grand Budapest would have a chance, but still.
