Richard Penna 3,689 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I like the main theme, but the rest of the score doesn't do much for me beyond the 'contemplative' moments.It's just not a Pixar film where I felt the music did anything except help the film. I prefer Michael in Trek mode.(surprised they presented the music award in the show? thought all ceremonies except the oscars had an 'earlier this evening' segment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Woo hoo! As little regard I have for the Golden Globes a win is a win. Trek is my favorite from the last year, but Up is a damn fine score too and very worthy of being recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 214 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 (surprised they presented the music award in the show? thought all ceremonies except the oscars had an 'earlier this evening' segment)They always present the music award during the show for the Globes.

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have more respect for the Globes than I do the Oscars these days.They usually get it right more times than the Academy, Williams won a Globe for Geisha.But congrats to Michael Giacchino, Up is a very good score and worthy of its award.

The Academy's selections for the music award the last several years have ranged from laughable to outright embarassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I've never been a big Giacchino fan, but the score for "Up" was one of the best I've heard in a long time. Maybe it's time to reappraise the man's previous work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's time to reappraise the man's previous work.If you do, don't overlook the scores for "Medal of Honor", some people dismiss them because they're for a videogame but I feel they're his best work. The first one has a "Last Crusade" vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I don't like the score and think the film is problematic to say the least (Coraline was my choice)...but it was nice to see Giacchino get some love. His speech was good, great to see McCartney cooperate. His win was the only suprise, though. It was a singularly boring list of winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I was very happy with this win, and the "Best Animated Film" win. I don't know how the hell Avatar got two of the big ones, but I think the right decision was made in at least this category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I was very happy with this win, and the "Best Animated Film" win.The latter was very predictable, albeit extremely deserved. And yes, it's fantastic that it won Best Score. Hopefully the win will carry over to the Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the win will carry over to the Oscars.Up also won Best Score at the Critics Awards.The Golden Globes are given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association--which is an association that's way corrupt. The presenters and winners were making fun of this fact all night long. That's probably how 'Nine' got all those nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Congratulations Mr. Giacchino!IMHO, the best score of the year. And 'Married Life' his best scored scene to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Giacchino seems like a nice guy: He is. And he's genuinely humble, as I witnessed when I interviewed him last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Up was an obvious win for score. All the other nominations sucked. And Fantastic Mr. Fox deserved animated film waaaay more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I can't argue with Pixar winning but the stop motion animation in Mr. Fox is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 319 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Giacchino seems like a nice guy: Yeah. He's great. He's basically a fan as much as he is a composer, and loves Horner, Williams and Goldsmith scores, from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't like the score and think the film is problematic to say the least (Coraline was my choice)...but it was nice to see Giacchino get some love.I really liked the film, although I found parts of it more problematic than any Pixar film since at least Cars - probably more so, since I wholly enjoyed that. It's probably the first Pixar to win in a "best movie" category where I don't necessarily agree. I think I'd have chosen both Coraline and The Princess and the Frog over it.Never fully got into Giacchino's score, but considering his overall output these past year, and what I've heard of his competition, I think he absolutely deserves his award.Tarantino should have won best directory. And I would have liked to see Emerson win, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,043 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Good for Giacchino! I think I prefer his score to Star Trek as a whole, although all of the themes he wrote for Up are delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 loved how Cher called him giacapichino. Up definately deserved it over his failed score to Star Trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
