John Williams

Some of the best films of the year flew under the radar.

John Williams, probably the most recognizable name of modern Hollywood film scores, has given us the iconic soundtracks to little indie pictures such as Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indiana Jones, E.T., and, of course, Star Wars. The music is at once timeless and nostalgic, allowing us all to sink cozily back into the days when Amblin ruled our childhoods as we listen through each score over and over. All of us, that is, except John Williams.

Everyone's favorite droid made his Oscar debut last night with C3PO and R2D2 to pay tribute to composer John Williams. I was not invited to be his date, and I'm quite bitter about it. My BFF BB-8 didn't even tell me that he was going to be there! What kind of a friend does that?
