Really loved the sets for this film! They were outlandish,other-worldly, bizarre, beautiful and just striking! They were something else! I wish I lived in one of those houses! Loved how every house - from Count Olaf's to Uncle Monty's and Aunt Josephine's - was so intricately presented... It's a pity that though nominated for the Oscar for Best Art Direction, it didn't win! The cinematography was also amazing!
Thomas "the great" Newman and one of Hollywood's MOST prolific and gifted music directors was also nominated for an Oscar for his score on this film. I've been a been a great fan of Newman's music for several years now and I felt wretched when he didn't win the Oscar for 'Road to Perdition'. The score of that film takes film-music composing to a truly new level! It's responsible for half of the film's beauty. It's high time Newman gets acknowledged for his scores... If he does win an Oscar in the future, it won't be just for the film he's nominated, it will be for many years of composing spell-binding, ethereal music...!
