Neimoidian 14 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Let me understand! Although John's score - according to the Grammy people - is worse than The Dark Knight, his instrumental composition was found better than couple non-cinematic compositions, right? Good he got some recognition anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Unfortunately the credibility of these awards is suspicious as TDK won best score album, I'm not surprised that it won.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I would have wanted "Call Of The Crystal" to win. It's not my favorite track, but it's the only one I think would be eligible that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Coscina 3 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Glad Williams won something at the Grammy's. It is indeed a fun listen and a great concert piece. I had the pleasure of hearing it live under the maestro's baton last year. Actually 3 times. I forgot about the rehearsal in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 My wife and daughter were watching the Grammys and I wasn't paying too much attention but I don't think they even did the "Other Grammys Presented Tonite" segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Congrats to John on his composition, it is clearly a well written piece of music.It's usage as film score is another matter entirely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although John's score - according to the Grammy people - is worse than The Dark Knight, his instrumental composition was found better than couple non-cinematic compositions, right? Dark Knight won for best score but wasn't even nominated for "Best Instrumental Composition."That's ironically hilarious. It's like they're acknowledging it's not even an instrumental composition.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I know that in a more scholarly sort of competition, "The Adventures of Mutt" would be mere fodder for sneers and jeers, but it truly does make for a fun listen. Those who find it tedious because of all the scale runs need to lighten up. Anyway, does this win make Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull the only award-winning score in the Indiana Jones series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they're acknowledging it's not even an instrumental composition.Nothing in TDk really stood out as a single peiece. JW writes things differently, where each thing is its own piece, where you can take one cue and it can stand on its own. You can't really take just one cue from TDK except maybe the suites which, IMO, weren't that great. It has to be together, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
