Not everyone agrees for the best result for a Batman movie, but people generally agree that the result for the "Dark Knight" is high on the list. If nothing else is impossible not to love them The last 30 seconds of "I'm not a hero", What is usually played in the movie whenever Batman does something particularly cool. Results for other films in the Dark Knight trilogy are solid, but "Batman starts" felt insufficiently compared to his successor and The result for the "Dark Knight is rising" It feels like trying to regain that magic "Dark Knight".

But Voras intense and atmospheric as the music in the "Dark Knight", she did not win an Oscar for best original music, nor was she nominated. How Reported at the time"The musical branch of the Academy acted after noting that five people deserved to compose the result. Although no one knows exactly how many people were allowed to be included, it was obviously too much."

Although Hans Zimmer and Jamesiyes Newsthnh Howard are the main names attached to the result, music editor Alex Gibson, music designer Mel Weson and composer Lorn Balf are also credited. The three apparently "signed an affair that says Zimmer and Howard were the main composers of the work", but that was not enough for the academy to change his mind. "Dark Knight" finished nominated in eight Oscar categories and won two of them, but the Oscar for the best original result ended in Ar Rahman for "Slumdog Millionaire". Howard couldn't have been too anxious, at least; That same year, he was also nominated for his defiance result.

The rationale for excluding the "dark knight" in the music category feels a little weak, because it's not like a movie soundtrack is ever made up of just one or two people anyway. For example, Hans Zimmer talked a lot about how it works with a team of people for every movie.

That means being responsible for the initial idea, style, themes, orchestration and instrumentation. The big idea. But in a two -hour plus result, especially for the way I work, you need a little help."

In the room with the director, the editor and editor of music, they should be part of the process." Zimmer talked about how he was trying to credit it to the people with whom he works as much as possible, but in the end it is not practical that the album has so many names in front of and center: "Sometimes that is not possible. The" additional composer "loan inevitably means that someone in another department has to give up their credit."

On the bright side, it's hard to be like Zimmer or Howard never experienced. Zimmer has been nominated for an Oscar 12 times in his career and recently won twice, recently for his result for the first film "Duna" in 2022. (His The result for the second film "Duna" was not so lucky.) Meanwhile, Howard has been nominated for an Oscar nine times, though he has not yet won. They may not have got a chance for the "dark knight", but at least the academy allowed them much more opportunities along the road.
