Sandor 796 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Why wasn't Tintin or War Horse nominated for a Grammy Award...?Just wondering, since Williams has a pretty good standing when it comes to Grammy nominations especially in the last 10 years. Anyone know...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,268 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We don't know if it has or hasn't yet, actually. The most recent Grammy Awards (the 54th) were held in February of 2012, and they were for albums released from July 2010 through July 2011.The 55th annual Grammy Awards, being held Feb 10th 2013, will reward albums released from July 2011 to July 2012. We find out who is nominated on December 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Austin Wintory's Journey got a nomination too. Well deserved.That's a video game, right? Do they usually nominate video games? Even among video games, it seems kind of obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It is, and I'd say no but I'm not hugely familiar with the Grammy's voting tendencies. I think it speaks volumes to the quality of the music when it's up there against Hollywood's biggest composers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,667 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Why are the Grammys always more than a year out of date?Pretty uninspiring list if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro 26 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The Grammy period is october to september, I believe.I wonder why there weren't any film scores represented in the Instrumental Composition category this year ... I think perhaps the rules have changed and film scores are excluded from this category, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been listening to the sample cues Wintory sent out through his newsletter since, because I have been waiting for the physical CD to be released. I finally received that a couple days ago, signed by Wintory and a couple others to boot.Incanus is also a big fan, you can read his review here.

Incanus 5,713 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Wintory's work for Journey is certainly worth checking out. He balances the ambient textures and melodic writing with deft hand in this work. Nice to see him getting a Grammy nod as a recognition for his work. He is in pretty brilliant company alongside the Hollywood heavy weights. Congratulations to Maestro for the nomination and let's hope he will win!

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I believe I've made my feelings previously known on how disappointing both film and score were.The fact they are proceeding with a sequel is mind boggling given the poor box office. The overseas was better but not anywhere near what one would expect to proceed with another film. BLUMENKOHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I must admit, I was surprised that Tintin got nominated and WH was not. I agree that the latter was far superior, even though I would be happy if Tintin had won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overseas was better but not anywhere near what one would expect to proceed with another film.It made about as much as Star Trek 09 did, worldwide. Nobody's questioning a sequel for that.

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 That's because Star Trek more than tripled Tintin's domestic take.But studios can now recover some of their losses overseas because it appears foreign audiences aren't as hard on bombs as US audiences are, or so it seems.

Star Trek tripled Tintin's take in the USA, sure, but Tintin doubled Star Trek's overseas haul. Both were moneymakers, but simply played better in different markets. I don't think the USA was a top priority for Tintin, anyway, as opposed to Europe/Asia where it was released earlier and (apparently) marketed heavier, and it'll probably be similar for the sequel. The USA's lukewarm reception was a blow, but it had already doubled its production budget of $135 million by the time its stateside debut rolled around, and the States pushed it up over 2.5 times its budget. Not an out-and-out smash on the level of Pixar/Dreamworks, but good enough for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
