KK 3,308 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Indeed. It seems like it won't be going getting any awards this year.Maybe the finale will garner more critics on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,249 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm excited that Cloud Atlas was nominated. Didn't expect that one. I feel like there isn't a distinct front runner yet. I knew The Artist was gonna win best score before it was even nominated at the globes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 2,220 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm excited that Cloud Atlas was nominated. Didn't expect that one. well, if there was an award for Best Musical Theme, I would give it to Cloud Atlas Sextet. It was a sublime piece.The rest of the score, just average...

Taikomochi 1,249 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hmmmm, I disagree. The score definitely has a lot of nothing, but I adore pieces like the Main Titles and the Finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWfangirl1992 18 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Based on those nominations and the way the Academy picks their winners I feel Lincoln has a very good shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard P 4,211 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 FYI, Spielberg's Lincoln scored an impressive 7 nominations tally.And The Hobbit an impressive 0 nominations. For once, they agree with my opinion of a score I've only heard Lincoln from that list, and I ain't going to be rooting for that. I should check out some of the others.

Muad'Dib 1,867 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Anyone else find it weird that they nominated Cloud Atlas but Don Davis' work for The Matrix trilogy never got any award attention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,739 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Cloud Atlas is a decent nominee, I'm surprised that Christian Clemmensen hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Oscars are pretty strict about it, yeah. On their list of 104 eligible scores, Tom Tykwer's name is missing from Cloud Atlas's entry.

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 If by strict you mean change it every other year to suit their agenda then yes, they are pretty strict about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,769 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Okay. I just meant that they have a record of eliminating composers and/or scores from contention, whereas the Globes generally don't. Their consistency is another matter.

publicist 4,647 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 As pure music, the Williams is the best but seems not to make a lot of impression in the movie, ARGO is well-done but purely functional (they should have chosen the Bigelow thriller or indeed RISE OF THE GUARDIANS as Desplat's american scores go), CLOUD ATLAS had a few good moments but was totally overloaded with a musical carpet of decidedly lesser material, the Danna comes behind Williams in quality but may be a bit too mousy/subtle. ANNA KARENINA is good but ultimately more source than score, which ironically could push it forward.If the AA's follow that route, this year's music oscar will be given strictly for political reasons - a solace for the losers from the big categories.

TownerFan 5,210 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Talking about Oscar predicitions:Lincoln, Anna Karenina and Life of Pi will almost surely be nominated at the Academy Awards.Desplat will likely end up nominated for Rise of the Guardians or Zero Dark Thirty instead of Argo.The fifth slot could be anything else: it could be Greenwood for The Master, or Zeitlin/Romer for Beasts of the Southern Wild (both are critics' fave). But it could very well be that Desplat will end up with another nomination.Shore's The Hobbit looks like is out of the game.Pretty interesting year, btw.

crocodile 8,539 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Congrats to John Williams. I can't believe this isn't the title of this thread. Nice to see Mychael Danna among the nominees. What I heard from this score was really good indeed and I can't wait to see the film (which opens here in a week).Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,891 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Won't Shore's Hobbit (with the new Academy rules) submission need to be the music as heard in the film, which mostly became re-recordings of LOTR material? I can see that disqualifying him.The OST might be sensational, but that can't be submitted for the FYC, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 With the poor reception this film is getting, I doubt Shore will be able to snag a nomination anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,729 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 what's the "gimmick score" in theseBTW the Lincoln score makes ZERO impression in the film, so don't bet on it compared to years when more noticeable Williams scores still lost to whatever.

indy4 155 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's a fine line. The music to War Horse's biggest problem, according to most critics, was that it was overbearing and over sentimental. Something like Brokeback Mountain was, I'm told, sparse and not very prominent. They might appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,308 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Sparse is the new cool. With most music in the vein of Williams being trashed for being "overbearing", this is the best chance Williams has gotten in a while.Why does everyone keep thinking that in order to win the award, the score must be as good as his other winning works? That's clearly not how the voters think, or how the awards work for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,647 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hard to say. Has Desplat one? He might get it just for his tireless efforts, which are being noticed in Hollywood. If not, i think Williams could get it because respectable americana for a respectable and respected subject might send a hopeful signal from the film community.
