It's not great, it's rather average as far as scores go. Howard has done much better work recently (The Village) and Zimmer... There is no noteworthy themes to cling on to. It pales in comparison to Elfman's Batman work, which sadly was never nominated either.
And it may not be eligable.

5. Only the principal composer(s) or song writer(s) responsible for the conception and execution of the work as a whole shall be eligible for an award. This expressly excludes from eligibility all of the following:
(f) scores assembled from the music of more than one composer.
The running strings in the first and 2nd track, Vespertilio and Eeptesicus, could be seen as a semi-theme IMO, though i get what you mean......with drums and strings everywhere, there's really no major constant...
The string movement in Matrocus is awesome and i think its better than anything in The Village...but that's just me, i love the movie and perhaps my judgement is clouded :razz:
About the eligibility, i think its absurd that they wouldn't allow collaborations......i mean its not like they are reusing music :???:
, it was one of the best parts of an already fantastic movie :razz: .........i really think it's worthy of a nomination :razz:
