Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood wins (another) award

Today, PasteMagazine.com would like to share with you, our loyal reader, one of our favorite recipes. Its ingredients come from several continents, and some have to be imported and are fairly costly. However, if prepared by the right person, the combination cannot be topped.

Take one Oscar nominated director and ex-Fiona Apple beau. Mix him with the youngest member of one of the biggest British bands since the Beatles. Sprinkle in a heavy amount of a certain Oscar nominated actor with a hyphenated last name. Garnish with the color-blind son from Little Miss Sunshine. Cook at 350 degrees for 158 minutes, let cool for several months, ice with eight Oscar nominations, 31 awards, and 33 more nominations, and voila! You have yourself the most-excellent film There Will Be Blood.

Now that we've shared with you the recipe for film-making success, it's time to get down to business. Last week, Jonny Greenwood, prolific guitarist of the group Radiohead, won yet another award for the soundtrack he penned at the request of director Paul Thomas Anderson. The soundtrack to There Will Be Blood won an Evening Standard Film Award, adding yet another accolade to the plethora of statues Greenwood has racked up over the past few months. Sadly, Greenwood won't have the opportunity to add a little naked golden man to his collection, as his score was recently disqualified from Oscar consideration.
