With apologies to Atticus Ross:  we know you won the "Best Score" accolade as well.  We just couldn't sound your name into the headline, as well, and our fanboyishness for every things Nine Inch Nails-related could not be denied.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, up against formal rivalry in the "Best Score" category, river Reznor and Atticus Ross' directly iconic reason for The Social Network managed to intend the accolade this evening.  We've got some thoughts on this below, my upgrade Examiner readers...

About 16 eld ago, river Reznor was live, onstage at Woodstock '94, awninged in mod, shrieking at a mosh pit flooded of neo-hippies, and terrifying an whole commonwealth of parents.  Fast-forward to this evening, and the once-creepy Nine Inch Nails frontman looked tan, fit, and primed when he took the initiate to accept his accolade for "Best Score" at this evening's Academy Awards ceremony.  For Nine Inch Nails fans, this was a genuine victory.

Reznor's worked in flick before, but never to the extent that he worked on Fincher's The Social Network:  Back in the New 90's, Reznor worked on the soundtracks for both Natural Born Killers and king Lynch's Lost Highway.  There were rumors that Reznor would hit worked on Fincher's proposed adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor, but 9/11 crowd a wager finished the hunch of that flick daylong before it ever reached the filming stage.  There were rumors the digit would work unitedly on a Fight Club musical (yes, on Broadway), but for the instance being, every rumors are ease rumors.

Here's what Reznor had to say most the intend to reporters backstage:

“[Inception] composer, Hans Zimmer, who I’ve been battling at awards shows every year, told me, ‘In a lot of ways, I hope you intend because it’s helped open up the earth a taste for texture of what flick scores can be,’ ” Reznor told reporters backstage. “I am genuinely stupid by this. David [Fincher] bugged us to do it. I’m very pleased we did. It’s been the prizewinning experience I’ve ever had from move to finish.”

Reznor didn't do it alone, either:  his regular collaborator Atticus doc deserved the award just as such as Reznor (side note:  if you're a follower of The Social Network or Reznor's score, we propose that you watch the individual special featurettes on the Social Network Blu-ray for more on how that awing reason was created).  Of the win, doc had this to say:

“This morning I thought, ‘Wow, this is a reality.’ I’ve come in with no expectations. It’s been incredible.”

Congrats to both, and congrats to The Social Network for every its some wins this evening.
