Morlock 11 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Very nice. A bit odd, but very nice. Being one of those strage people who genuinely enjoys the Oscar telecast, I very much look forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 More likely the "previous Chris Tilton". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 That's somewhat disappointing, I was keeping my fingers crossed for JW or Conti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Woods 555 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 He can't, but the academy does not know that yet.Yes, he can!He has conducted the Northwest Sinfonia during the Frontline sessions, a frenetic performance of The Incredibles with the LA Youth Orchestra and conducted portions of his Lost Symphony in Hawaii. There are probably more examples but he is fully qualified to do it.As for not conducting during recording sessions... he likes the set up and his working relationship with Tim Simonec so there is no reason to change. They have been working that way (Tim conducts, Michael in the booth) since the beginning of their collaboration.-Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I deleted what I wrote here for being in poor taste.Is it possible that a single artist being nominated for two distinct entries in the same category is more of a detriment than an honor? If it's nominations you're after, than I guess not, but if you seek victory, then all that does is split your supporters into two camps, and allow a third party to win.I'm not talking about the election of 1912, either. I still think FOTR deserved the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
