War of the Worlds was one of the dullest Hollywood blockbusters of the year.

Spielberg is good in a "I hope I never have to see a movie by him again and what's with a jewish guy employing freaky scientologists" kind of way, but Serenity was the kind of movie that I left feeling "thank you - that was a wonderful experience in the not so hokey I could see how it ended before I bought the ticket way but more I had totally *seen a movie* kind of way. Obviously this is just my humble opinion. And not hugely grammatical.
Well deserved.

I also think the Lost music deserved to win. I think Michael Giacchino is incredibly talented and should become much more visible in the next five to ten years because he should definitely be scoring big films. I thoroughly enjoyed his work on Alias, and am hoping they will release soundtracks for seasons three to five, and of course a Lost soundtrack.
They also use some fantastic songs in Lost, some of which I wouldn't have heard otherwise, such as "Wash Away" by Joe Purdy. The music isn't quite as atmospheric as Buffy or Angel, and they haven't brought to light so many relatively unknown but excellent artists, but I was still impressed.
Of course I think Serenity's soundtrack should have been a runner up. I think it was totally ungerenic and completely organic to the Fireflyverse and fit in well with the story, without copying Greg Edmunson's beautiful style. I think it is definitely very memorable and unique.
