The Adventures Of Tintin - The Secret Of The Unicorn
John Williams, composer
[Sony Classical]
The Artist
Ludovic Bource, composer

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, composers

Howard Shore, composer

That's some tough competition for Journey to go up against, but it's cool to see it get the nomination nonetheless. The 55th Annual Grammy Awards air on CBS on February 10, 2013.
