Although widely admired and thought of as a contender for the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 2008 Academy Awards , it was ruled ineligible due to its use of pre-existing material . The score features elements from Greenwood 's compositions ' Popcorn Superhet Receiver ' and Bodysong ( such as the track " Convergence " , played atop the title track during the derrick fire sequence ) and works from Arvo Pärt and the violin concerto in D by Johannes Brahms
