Richard P 4,211 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 That's the least inspiring list of nominees I've seen in years. I have at most a few tracks from each of those.Not really rooting for anyone this year. It would be nice to see Newman receive a major award, but it would be for the wrong reason (the UK wanting to pat itself on the back for making the best Bond film of all time).

Quintus 5,454 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Newman won it. Argo got best film and director. Lincoln only got the one award, for Day Lewis.I haven't seen Lincoln yet and so I'm pleased for Affleck and Argo, because the film was brilliant.

Naïve Old Fart 10,449 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 "Skyfall"? A BAFTA for best score? Are they joking????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,816 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Oh it is the alluring British charm of the name of James Bond that addled the BAFTA voters' brains.Congratulations to Mr. New/Snooze/Coolman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,454 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Skyfall won Outstanding British Film, which is patriotic nonsense. Not the award, but that daft plot hole riddled popcorn flick getting it. It was supremely entertaining, but I'm just not into this thing of British awards thingys falling over themselves to congratulate it.But then again maybe a Bond movie was literally the best movie we could knock together (in collaboration with MGM and Columbia) this past year. In which case congrats I suppose. But is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,454 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think I touched on my extremely positive reaction to it a little in the film thread, Karol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard P 4,211 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The BBC not only put that in the 'earlier this evening' bit - they also only showed about two seconds of Newman getting up from his seat before they cut to the next one.So thanks for finding that clip I do wish they'd ask some less run-of-the-mill questions though.

BLUMENKOHL 1,081 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Good for Snoozeman. I generally think his music is unbearably dull, but he did a fantastic job on Skyfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,539 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 While not a fan/hater of this work, it is undeniably one of the best scores "as heard in the film" of 2012. It serves the story well, adds to the film's cooleness (in tandem with cinematography) and makes it better overall (you forget the script is kind of stupid). And also it gets some breathing space thanks to a great sound mix.Having said that, I wish he got recognized earlier for some of his other, much better, work. There is a sense of irony that he should be awarded for the best "original" music.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
