Where are all the great contemporary composers?

Oh yeah, right. They are composing for film. Wouldn't you? Instead of scratching your cello not 'col legno' but 'sul legno' or incorporating happy birthday into ping-pong balls bouncing inside a piano. Anyway.
Clint Mansell
Hans Zimmer
Michael Nyman
Thomas Newman
Ann Dudley
who else...there are so many. Why bother with the scratching of the wood?
Yes, I really like this movie (Tristan and Isolde). How couldn't I? And no, I don't care how sappy it is.
