Well, to add my 2 cents, I'm glad Randy Newman won. Just because Sting was nominated, doesn't mean he deserves to win! Kate and Leopold was a "throwaway" movie, and I'm sorry, but "Until" didn't and still doesn't do anything for me. It's not at all catchy at its best and awkward at worst. Do you find yourself humming it throughout the day? Hardly. And it's too reminiscent of "If I could save time in a bottle..." I was more interested in the color of Sting's hair than the actual song. That doesn't make me less of a Sting fan, it just means that I think he has done and can do better work. Randy Newman's songs are always catchy, funny, appropriate to the movie, lyrically smart and unique. Sure, maybe after 16 nominations, it was a sympathy win, but it was also a well-deserved win for a catalog of works. I can't believe anyone honestly thought Sting would win, frankly. We are huge fans, but 99% of the rest of the world can take him or leave him. There were probably greater numbers of Faith Hill, Enya and Paul McCartney fans rooting for their folks. I guess many Sting fans were disappointed, but I wasn't. I'd rather see him win deservedly. Maggie
