It’s good to see Twilight in these awards too, I hope Twilight will win both categories! Sad it didn’t get in for the score too, but still pretty cool to have Twilight at the Grammy Awards.
Are you surprised to see the Twilight soundtrack or Decode as nominees? Do you think the score for Twilight should have been nominated?
