XHM #8 - "Queen of the world" (2010 March 08)

7:32am - 9:05am

Along with a quick Oscar recap, in honour of International Women's Day, a profile on one of the soundtracks by the first woman ever to win an Oscar for Best Score: Rachel Portman. Congratulations to all the Oscar winners and nominees. Hard to believe that Kathryn Bigelow is the first female to ever win the Best Director award, but her work in The Hurt Locker was phenomenal.

Of course, it'd be more appropriate to have Rachel Portman's Oscar winning score to Emma, but I couldn't find it, so I opted for her Oscar-nominated work for Chocolat instead.
