Trumpeteer 302 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Funny stuff. I think at this point people are coming to grips that our #1 score did not get the recognition it deserved. I know I have.But just think: the score to "Empire" goes into history as one of the greatest snubs in Oscar history. And what would we John Williams fans have to gripe out about these days if "Empire" had won?Oh yeah, the travesties of "Superman," "Raiders," "Return of the Jedi," "Temple of Doom," "Empire of the Sun," "The Accidental Tourist," "Born on the Fourth of July," "Home Alone," "JFK," "Nixon," "Sleepers," "Amistad," "Saving Private Ryan," "Angela's Ashes," "The Patriot," "AI" and "Harry Potter" not winning an Oscar. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricard 2,245 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 maybe for TOD,If you ask me, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is light years better than Maurice Jarre's A Passage to India (which is still a good score). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKenLittle 6 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 To be honest, I almost voted for Altered States... really interesting Experimental score, by John Corigliano...

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 My friends, we live in an extremely liberal society. Granted, most of our friends who use this board are not American, they're Canadian or European or Australian, but as far as personal liberties go, it's not like these other societies today are going to enter our homes and condemn us for our opinions or what we post on message boards. We're free to choose our music and friends and make our own opinions....But in this case, I'm going make an exception and give you your opinion.1980 = The Empire Strikes Back.Period.Additionally, I am ashamed to be have been born in the year that can identify itself with Chariots of Fire beating Raiders of the Lost Ark for best score.It's all in fun, friends.

Guest Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Granted, most of our friends who use this board are not American, they're Canadian or European or Australian...First of all, I was being totally sarcastic when I said that I was giving your opinion. Everyone's entitled to one, but more often than not throughout Academy Award, convoluted as it may be, I've usually preferred the Williams score(s) to win, the grand exception being Fellowship of the Ring, and it does make me sad that the last two Star Wars outings have not been nominated when all three classic scores were. Oh well, the times they are a-changing.When I said "most of our friends are not American," I should have said something to the tune of "many of our friends are not American," since at the time, I was thinking of many of our vocal friends who do not live in the U.S., like Morn, Stefancos, Marian, Luke, BigKenLittle, et al. I didn't want to come off as saying that other countries are dictatorships, since they're not, and I know I'm teetering damn close to a political debate with this, and that's hardly my point. My apologies, Ricard, I don't exactly keep a list of countries from which members come. It's just that some of the more colorful and interesting and always-a-pleasure-to-read-responses members come from non-Americans, which biased my statement.---------------------------------------------------Terrance and Phillip are back in Canada...You promised me they'd be gone for good.
