I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: There was nothing memorable about Coco Avant Chanel for me. A tolerable film. Not Oscar-worthy at all. And if Tree of Life does come out this year, I doubt Desplat will get pushed at all for his score for Coco Avant Chanel.
Desplat is the biggest shot Twilight will ever have at the Oscars.
Desplat will get a nom for tree of life and should have won for button. Also I think we have to consider Brad Pitt a contender for tree of life, hes just been on a role and he will win an oscar soon
