It is a travesty that this score did not win an Oscar!

"Here is another slap in the face of director Spike Lee. Terence Blanchard's score was truly worthy of an Academy Award, as were the film and acting performances of Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, and Al Freeman, Jr.The score runs the gamut of old school jazz and swing to poignant melodic elegies detailing the turbulent times of the civil rights leader and his life. Every track vividly expresses the on-screen action, reveling in the expertise of the composer and the gifted storytelling of the director.A marvelous complement to the movie and the man is this score."

"I couldn't agree more. It truly is a shame that this score was not awarded the ocsar as was the open eyed robbery of Denzel Washington."
