..this is still the best movie I've seen in a year and my favorite for the Oscar. DDL is my favorite for best actor too.
I loved the soudtrack--does just what a movie soundtrack should do punctuating the action and storyline in aurally interesting and inventive ways. Its virtue was no hummable tunes. Sorry it didn't get an Oscar nomination.
I thought the Atonement soundtrack was interesting using the old typewriters as percussive devices, but this is not a novel idea. TTWB soundtrack was the more creative of the two but the Atonement soundtrack got the Oscar nomination.

AMPAS tend to prefer a more "composed" style of sound score. - Harmonia 14:57:08 02/05/08 (0)
Atonement was a ver fine soundtrack, and follows the one for Pride & Prejudice from same composer that was also excellent. But I thought TWBB deserved a nod too - very creative and as you say, provides what a soundtrack is supposed to do.

AMPAS likes "tunes". They get it right sometimes, and sometimes they ignore the more adventurous fare.
