With the Oscars just days away, Slate takes a look at the soundtracks to this year's top contenders, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood, despite the minor technicality that kept the latter out of the running for best score. Jan Swafford writes that Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood should be recognized not for the rock roots of its composer, but "as one of the most original of recent years."
