Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 So, you said Randy didn't want to submit Toy Story 3 for best score, but he wanted to for Best Song and the Grammy's? How does that make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that make any sense.Well, maybe he thought his song has more chances of being nominated/winning at the Oscars than his score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,825 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I guess it would be a wise policy for ANY composer, not to sumbit 2 scores, because if both are nominated the votes will divide.(although he did win for Star Wars, when Close Encounters was nominated too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,475 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The thing is, all the films want more Oscar noms to their name, it increases their prestige and is something to put on the dvd cover.So why should the producers of Munich or Memoirs throw away a sure shot Oscar nomination? So both are submitted and bother are nominated.But I am not sure that its even possible for a non Best Picture nominated film to win Best Score anymore. The last such win was more than 10 years ago.The Score category is just sorry these days. I can't get over the fact that shit like Babel and Social Network got nominated and even won. What a mockery of film music composition.Even this year, it'll be the same, I bet either 12 Years A Slave or Gravity will win for score because they are favorites for Best Picture.The only instance in the last 10 years when I think a score truly won only on the basis of merit was Up.

TheUlyssesian 2,475 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 That was immensely deserving. But it didn't win on merit, even had it been a horrible score it would have won. It would have won were it anything. The film just swept every category it was up for. It was ludicrous LOTR 3 even won for script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,336 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Do you honestly think any voting members thought House of Sand and Fog, Finding Nemo, Cold Mountain, or Big Fish were better scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,475 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I think Nemo Cold Mountain could have won. LOTR's over due status and the air of inevitability and its sweep very obviously contributed to it winning.I am not contesting that it is an outstanding score see? I am saying many other factors contributed to it winning than the mere fact of its quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I think it's a mockery of film music composition that you disregard scores you haven't heard at your own personal whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My guess is that it'll be a year full of the "usual suspects" in the Best Score category.Mr. Williams and Mr. Newman are pretty much a lock. Monsieur Desplat also has good chances with both the critically-acclaimed Philomena and Clooney's Monuments Men. Herr Zimmer could sneak in a nom for the already critic-darling 12 Years a Slave.I also wouldn't be surprised if Ennio Morricone will sneak in a nomination for his excellent score to The Best Offer.
