2014 INTERNATIONAL FILM MUSIC CRITICS ASSOCIATION NOMINATIONS


I'll give the International Film Music Critics Association a little credit this year for recognising composers such as Mica Levi and Christopher Young... and Alexandre Desplat, ofc, as many times as they could. But that's as far as my respect stretches. Not with the quality work they could have noticed in their nominations. They qualify themselves as critics, but they vote more like an industry guild.
