Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 So crazy that Hauschka is an Oscar nominated composer now. He's a super talented experimental pianist who I've listened to for over a decade now. His 2008 solo album Ferndorf was incredible.

mrbellamy 6,278 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If he starts shooting soon this year as initially reported he can probably make it. He knocked out Munich in less than 6 months between production and release. Dude's still a machine. Btw I think this is only like the 7th time or something since his first nomination that JW got no Academy recognition in a year that he had at least one score...last time was 2008.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's not surprising. Generally they don't nominate many films that don't have positive awards buzz already. Guess Passengers took that slot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my doubts about that smaller Spielberg movie (the Edgardo whatever whatever one) actually releasing this year. Maybe I'm wrong. Spielberg shoots next month and it reads like textbook Spielberg Oscar-bait. It'll be out by December, don't you worry! Also, are Newman's nominations a running joke with the music wing? Passengers seems out of place among the other 4 scores, considering the film was a critical bomb. Pleasantly surprised they didn't snub Gibson or Hacksaw Ridge and thoroughly un-surprised a film like La La Land got 14 nominations.

KK 3,307 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's exactly what I expected, except for the Newman, who strangely seems to have taken Williams' usual standard courtesy nomination. Moonlight is the only truly annoying, overrated score. Lion is just a knock-off of Johannsson's Prisoners, but pleasant I guess. The rest are decent to quite good.

The only real snub I'd argue for over the last decade is 2005's Memoirs. But he should be pleased with just racking up the usual pity/courtesy nominations.

When prominent men like Gibson, especially men like him who are considered prime examples of masculinity, make statements like that it only emboldens the nasty men (and it's pretty much always men) who are prone to hateful conspiracy theories.
