John Crichton 4 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well, as we're close to the end of the year, and with hopefully no more surprises coming our way, I figured it was time to hand out our awards for the best of the year. With a new twist this year, the awards are called the Golden Mugs. As us older JWFanners will know, it's based on the One Mug that Andreas used to give out for large donations to the website. Our Grandedest Master Steef is the prowd owner of two! If anyone with Photoshop skills would like to make an image of the award it'd be very appreciated. Here are the categories for this year:Score of the Year (only original scores written in 2009)Album of the Year (new score category)Album of the Year (rerelease category)Composer of the YearLabel of the YearCue of the YearPlease place your votes in this thread. The voting deadline will be midnight US Central Standard Time New Year's Eve/Day, and the winners will be announced first in a live chat at noon CST on New Year's Day, then posted in this thread.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 What the hell, John?!You better not steal my annual Oscar threads too! Actually though, this is pretty different than the ones I started where I tallied up all of your guys' nominations for best score of the year. So... I'm just gonna go back over here, to my table...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I forgot to mention that creating these kinds of threads before the year is over is like a pet peeve to me. You never know when the next masterpiece will come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 If something big does happen and someone wants to change their vote(s) that's fine as long as it's before the deadline, and probably best to mention it in a fresh post too.And I forgot to mention that non-film scores, ie video game and TV, are perfectly acceptable to vote for too.Don't worry Koray, your Oscar threads are safe. I thought I had a good idea and wanted to go ahead and jump in with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I must say it has been quite a depressing year concerning new works. I think Giacchino pulled off some great stuff, as did also Alexandre Desplat. Avatar I only listened once so far, but it didn't leave me any sensation of greatness--pretty ordinary Horner stuff, nothing more nothing less.I was positively impressed by Yared's Amelia, but probably the most refreshing and exciting new work I listened to in 2009 is James Peterson's The Red Canvas--this guy has very good chops and promising talent, I bet we'll listen more good things from him in the near future.However, it has been an amazing year for soundtrack re-releases from specialty labels and we got an impressive amount of stuff. Bless them, all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,487 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 So Star Trek II isn't anyone's album re-release of the year? How quickly we forget...I think Back to the Future stole a bit of Star Trek II's thunder with an entire disc of alternate scoring sessions in addition to the complete score. I'm not particularly hardcore into either release, but Back to the Future is more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,051 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Which is exactly what he did during his Kennedy Centre Honors ceremony, did you ever see that?Heh, I had forgotten about that.This was a tough one as far as Label and re-issue of the year was concerned. BTTf seemed like the obvious and Airplane! was a no brainer but Star Trek II caught everyone off guard. I had a strong feeling that Intrada would be bringing us BTTF at some point given their prior releases of Amazing Stories, although I had no concrete proof other than speculation. I know the Rozsa box set will be outstanding but it hasn't been released yet. FSM, Varese and LaLaLand really set the bar high this year but Intrada started off with a bang with 3 staright big Horner releases and then you throw in BTTF. I also thought Exodus was a strong contender, perhaps another category "Re-recording of the year" needs to be added.So without further ado, I present my choices:Score of the Year (only original scores written in 2009) UpAlbum of the Year (new score category) The Red CanvasAlbum of the Year (rerelease category) Star Trek IIComposer of the Year Michael GiacchinoLabel of the Year IntradaCue of the Year "That New Car Smell" from Star Trek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
