Quintus 5,399 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I haven't watched the video, nor seen the film. But I'm inclined to agree.That's because I'd rather Tintin was awarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,463 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love the score, but I'm not sure it deserves the award either. If only because his previous wins (except maybe FIDDLER, which I've never really liked) are so in a class of their own.Then again, neither of the nominees have candidates for the best score of the year, IMO.

Josh500 1,615 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This is actually fantastic!If Johnny's "War Horse" doesn't deserve an Oscar, he might actually have a genuine shot at winning this year!

Marian Schedenig 8,172 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love the score, but I'm not sure it deserves the award either. If only because his previous wins (except maybe FIDDLER, which I've never really liked) are so in a class of their own.As Williams drama scores go, this seems to be more accessible to me than most for a long time. It's not Williams' best score, but like Tintin (and even more so), it's fantastically crafted as a pure piece of music. What Williams put into each bar of music here is far beyond what most film composers these days are capable of on their best days, as far as I'm concerned. With that in mind, even not knowing much of the competition (e.g. The Artist), I'm convinced War Horse deserves most awards it can possibly get.

KK 3,307 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I love the score, but I'm not sure it deserves the award either. If only because his previous wins (except maybe FIDDLER, which I've never really liked) are so in a class of their ownThe Oscars (or any of these awards for that matter) aren't given based on how well the score compares to the composer's past works, they're given based on how well it compares to the other scores of this year. It would be ridiculous to expect Williams to compose something as good as Star Wars to get an Oscar...War Horse is the best score of the year (beating Tintin by a hair) so it clearly deserves the oscar.Unfortunately, this video seems prejudiced against Canadians...so I don't get to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 That was awesome I find it ironic how they chose one of the few scenes that doesn't contain music at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofDestiny 71 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeaah. It don't have to be better than others Williams. It just need to be the best score of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I find it ironic how they chose one of the few scenes that doesn't contain music at all...I can't tell if they did it to keep the sound effects in place, or that's just the drum beat of the song that sounds like it could be horse hoofbeats.

But you've got to admit that both War Horse and Tintin are the best of the nominees.

If we have really reached the point where sound design must be awarded for best score, the new Max Steiner must be just waiting in the wings to take over.
