Mark Isham

No, Dave Matthews Band's "Crash Into Me" isn't on the soundtrack. Nor is Usher's "Crash."

Instead, most of the film is scored by Mark Isham. His music is dramatic and atmospheric, perfect for the movie's montages and slow-motion scenes. His song "In the Deep" was nominated for Best Original Song, but it lost to "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the movie Hustle & Flow.

Isham wasn't too broken up by the loss. He kept on writing music for film, scoring Cameron Diaz's illiteracy in In Her Shoes (2005), Josh Hartnett in The Black Dahlia (2006), and the never-ending Disney fanfiction TV show Once Upon a Time.
