With all due respect, and I don't want to come off sounding like Al Gore, but how the blazes can "Gladiator" win the category for Best Isolated Score? As previously pointed out, by myself and others:
THE GLADIATOR DVD DOES NOT EVEN HAVE AN ISOLATED SCORE!!!
Who voted for this DVD--confused, elderly residents of Florida?!? Did people think they were voting for Best Score, or Pat Buchanan?!? This is like voting a pan & scan VHS tape "DVD of the Year." It just doesn't make sense. It's just plain WRONG. Not to mention embarassing to the DVD Talk community. What's next: we vote "Best Commentary" to a disc that doesn't HAVE a commentary?
Could you at least reveal what came in second place--so we'll know who SHOULD have won?
To preserve the dignity and integrity of the DVD Talkie Awards, I must demand a recount of the Best Isolated Score category, on the grounds that the winner is completely unqualified to even compete in the category.
Yeah, I know this isn't that big a deal, but I think this is a mistake that can be easily corrected. Admit we goofed, and give the award to the second-highest vote getter.
Thank you for your consideration of this issue.

Geoff--
THANK YOU!!
I agree, this was not a big deal--except to fans of isolated scores (like me). I guarantee, if JAWS had been voted Best Director's Commentary, you would've heard a huge cry from the masses about that!

Oh, except that movie isn't out on DVD yet, but should be...
I think it should still win.
