Is this a trick question? Because the movie had an incredible soundtrack and mix?

Bingo, the DD+ track on Transformers is amazing...definitely top tier stuff.

other than that, BD kinda killed it though.... But this whole Transformers thing is crazy. It sounds good BUT, I'm willing to bet, and even Pete Bracke is willing to bet it could have sounded better with High Res audio. But the DD+ is pretty nice, I still get chills when I'm at work and I demo the scene towards the end where the Truck autobot jumps over the girl at the Tank decepticon....I dont know there names as I dont won the movie...waiting for BD version! But, you know the scene! Awesome every time! But it would be clearer and the bass deeper in PCM I think.

Ummm No, The question is there because it was NOT in Dolby TrueHD or DTS HDMA. After all the controversy about HD DVD not being able to to have the new level soundtracks, I felt this was a weird statement for the Hi Def Awards to be making.

It does have high res audio, but I'm assuming you mean lossless. I don't know, it sounded as good as some of the lossless tracks out there, I was definitely happy with it.

A high bitrate DD+ track can sound quite good.

Pirates 3 has a Bad A$$ PCM mix

But not as good...

Soundtrack isn't all about compression or technical crap. A lot of it is how good the sound effects and music and dialog tracks are tracked and mixed in post production. A good sound tack is a good sound track reguardless of Dolby, Lossless, or Uncompressed pcm. Could it have been a bit better otherwise? .. sure

Wouldn't that depend. A 24 bit 1.5mbps DD+ track could rival a 16 bit PCM track. I thought the Transformers DD+ track definitely sounded just as good as some 16 bit PCM tracks...but that's just me.

I hate Transformers..BD is and will be the better format how can be Transformers presented in High Definition

Sound quality is sound quality, great soundtrack you bet, but this is the HI DEF AWARDS and all factors should be taken into account.

Exactly

I think Transformers soundtrack on HDDVD is remarkable. For a Lossy soundtrack to sound lossless takes something special. Is it the best soundtrack out there...uhhhh not so much.

Have you listened to the Transformer DD+ track all the way through? You can only make an informed opinion if you actually experienced it. If not, then you really have no right in saying it shouldn't have won for best sound.

Well, they had to throw the HD-DVD camp a bone

Seriously, I view it as an award for Bay's movie rather than for the format it happens to be on. I'm happy that his movie got an award as he is speaking in favor of Blu-ray. The way I see it, the sound in Transformers will just be exceptional once it is remastered with no compromise with all the available space on Blu-ray... once the payola expires.

havent heard the hddvd yet, but I have the DVD, and even that sounded pretty awesome. (was forced to rent this movie and burn it, insead of buying the blu-ray, which I would of definity have bought... SCREW YOU PARAMOUNT!!!
