Tom Conti is turning in his grave!

[Morlock 11]

Very nice. A bit odd, but very nice. Being one of those strage people who genuinely enjoys the Oscar telecast, I very much look forward to it.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

whats the remedy for bleeding ears.

[Morlock 11]

Giacchino, naturally. He's the cure to all of film music's problems.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,842]

Well I'll bet he will do a nice job playing other people's tunes.

He certainly has exprience with it.

Should this not go in the official Giachimino thread?

[Ollie 1,364]

Hmm didn't know he could conduct.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,842]

He can't, but the academy does not know that yet.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

I wonder if they will introduce him as "The Next John Williams"?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,842]

More likely the "previous Chris Tilton".

[Maglorfin 218]

That's somewhat disappointing, I was keeping my fingers crossed for JW or Conti.

[Erik Woods 828]

He can't, but the academy does not know that yet.

Yes, he can!

He has conducted the Northwest Sinfonia during the Frontline sessions, a frenetic performance of The Incredibles with the LA Youth Orchestra and conducted portions of his Lost Symphony in Hawaii. There are probably more examples but he is fully qualified to do it.

As for not conducting during recording sessions... he likes the set up and his working relationship with Tim Simonec so there is no reason to change. They have been working that way (Tim conducts, Michael in the booth) since the beginning of their collaboration.

Preach it, brother!

....Hm, remind me never to say that again.

[Luke Skywalker 2,322]

very nice.

He is getting early recognition

But i also didnt knew he knew conducting. Nice to know he does

[Red 75]

That's somewhat disappointing, I was keeping my fingers crossed for JW or Conti.

Yeah, it would be great to have Williams do it. Maybe some other time.

But this is pretty cool.

[Ollie 1,364]

The last time Williams did it he had 2 scores nominated and lost to Howard Shore.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,842]

Deservedly...

[Ollie 1,364]

Yes.

[Red 75]

Deservedly...

Possibly. I love Fellowship, but A.I. and Sorcerer's Stone are great scores.

[BurgaFlippinMan 7]

Deservedly...

I think FOTR, AI and Potter were all equally deserving that year.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,842]

No!

[Luke Skywalker 2,322]

AI rules over the other two. PERIOD

[Koray Savas 2,259]

AI rules over the other two. PERIOD

Indeed.

[indy4 160]

Giacchino deserves to conduct. He hasn't won an Oscar since Schindler's List, maybe this will bring him back into the Academy's eyes.

[Marian Schedenig 11,335]

I still don't like it (<--- AI) much.

[Koray Savas 2,259]

Giacchino deserves to conduct. He hasn't won an Oscar since Schindler's List, maybe this will bring him back into the Academy's eyes.

What?

What?

Cool news. No idea he could conduct. We'll see how it goes. When are the oscars next year?

[KittBash 360]

Looks like a reason to watch the oscars this year

[indy4 160]

Looks like a reason to watch the oscars this year

...other than watching KotCS win.

[Koray Savas 2,259]

If KOTCS wins I'll eat my left foot.

[indy4 160]

Eat foot!

[John Crichton 4]

If Indy 4 is nominated I'll eat my sock. If it wins I'd eat my whole leg.

[Morn 8]

Great! Who's hosting then, Jon Stewart again? Or some other guy who's never won an oscar?

[Koray Savas 2,259]

I hope Ricky Gervais gets to host. He's been talked about lately.

[Docteur Qui 1,581]

OH boy, that would be amazing. Enough for me to tune in for once!

[Wojo 2,458]

I deleted what I wrote here for being in poor taste.

Is it possible that a single artist being nominated for two distinct entries in the same category is more of a detriment than an honor? If it's nominations you're after, than I guess not, but if you seek victory, then all that does is split your supporters into two camps, and allow a third party to win.

I'm not talking about the election of 1912, either. I still think FOTR deserved the win.

Wait a minute....

Presumably Bareback Mountain won because the voters split between Memoirs (which Williams was actively endorsing), and Munich. (which Williams was not endorsing).

I'm as much a fan of Giacchino as the next fella, but that's just going too far. That'll probably end up on Wikipedia now.

[Morlock 11]

Anyone who trusts Wikipedia deserves what he/she gets.

[Morn 8]

Right, it's better to trust a single fallible expert.
