Faleel 5,348 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Have not heard Greenwood's score.Dind't care for Interstellar.HTTYD 2 or BOTFA for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Birdman being disqualified is typical bullshit Academy politics. This gives Zimmer a good chance, but I think it'll be Desplat's year now. He's obviously a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Which is rather ridiculous. He should get it for Godzilla, or really any other of his scores this year besides the one he'll be nominated for. Hell, Venus In Fur was better than The Imitation Game, and no one even noticed it!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Who knows, maybe we'll be surprised. Personally I'd give him a nomination for The Grand Budapest Hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It was just too cool for the Academy. Not enough minor dramatic strings and piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 My guess is because it was improvised and not technically written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 No improvisation? That's a really unsettling rule, if it is one. A bit narrow-minded. A lot actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I've only heard an excerpt of "Self-Portrait With Seven Fingers". If that's from Inherent Vice, then I think that would probably the most deserving of the bunch. But I doubt it's going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm not sure that's in the film. It's not on the FYC score, but that's obviously not the whole thing. Tracks fade out/cut off etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 There was a rumor earlier this year that this piece was part of the film...can you confirm whether or not it's on the FYC score? The track list of pop songs used in the film is here at least: http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/listen-the-full-inherent-vice-soundtrack-featuring-radiohead-neil-young-can-more-20141006.

Romão 2,274 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The Theory of Everything will win this. How can the academy resist a name like Jóhann Jóhannsson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Best score oscar has been given before as a sort of consolation prize for a movie that is nominated in the major categories and wins none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yeah, but even in that sense The Theory of Everything isn't good enough. It's really typical Oscar bait stuff.The consolation prizes are usually given to films that have quite a good standing in the other categories but goes without winning.It still has a chance, but Zimmer and Desplat are more likely choices to be honest.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I've had something of a change of heart after re listening to Insterstellar apart from the film. It's a fine score, one of Zimmer's best in many years and its tied with The Imitating Game as my favorite of the nominees. That being said I still don't love it like I do for my favorites from earlier this year (Godzilla, Millions of Way to Die, HTTYD 2, Maleficient) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 ASM2 for Best Score? Ha!As long as Zimmer or Greenwood take it, justice will have been done.If JW is not in the contest I don't care. Those Philistines can pick whatever crummy score they want!Oh sorry that was my KM voice speaking.I have not heard majority of the major contenders so I can't really say. But I am guessing it will be some experimental strange score with not a whiff of old classic class. Those young experimentalist weirdos will be the death of my enthusiasm for film music yet.
