filmmusic 1,826 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 After listening to MR. TURNER i at least have to recommend the Academy for nominating a recalcitrant chamber music score - in lieu of more surface gloss.I just listened to the first track only (this is what i could find in youtube), and if the rest are like this, it could be the most interesting musically soundtrack of all the nominees..It does seem a rather unexpected nominee from the academy!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The Grand Budapest Hotel and Interstellar are two very different beasts, both deserving of the gold. The Theory Of Everything will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The Theory of Everlasting is okay. I wouldn't be opposed to it winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm absolutely stunned, but quite pleased that Mr Turner got a nomination. I ended up choosing Deep in the Darkness as my #5 pick on the JWFan Awards thread, but it just as easily could have been Mr Turner or The Boxcar Children, and probably would have been one of those two if not for their poor album presentations. That said, I think one of the Desplats will win. Good God he was productive this year.Although none of my personal top 5 this year got nominated, I think it's a much better selection than last year, and I won't be particularly angry with any winner out of this group.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm still disappointed that How to Train Your Dragon 2 didn't get nominated. It's considerably better than any of the current nominees IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thank god the nomination are not up to soundtrack fans. As bad as the oscars are, at least a minimum of variety is guaranteed. Instead we would have scores like CUTTHROAT ISLAND and BACK TO THE FUTURE win every year. Sharkissimo and Dixon Hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 That's true. I still think that HTTYD 2 is deserving of a nomination, even by non-filmscore fan standards. It's not just an entertaining album experience, it enhances (if not makes) the movie it's attached to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would be preposterous ...Instead, let's give foreigners with an odd name the trophy for the sake of "variety". Disqualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,684 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd like to see Desplat take it for The Imitation Game - it worked tremendously in the film.I'll be amazed if The Theory of Everything doesn't win. Foreign composer, and a film with a subject matter critics fall over themselves to praise. I listened to a bit of it on spotify - okay I guess. I enjoyed Samuel Bohn's trailer music more.

SF1_freeze 131 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Interstellar!First great Zimmer score in about 10 years and somehow i feel like he should get the trophy.

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 "Alexandre Desplat" doesn't sound exotic, it sounds flat.OK. In these parts it does sound very exotic. But his two nominations will likely cancel each other out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll score an entirely film by hitting a dead opossum against a snare drum. Better yet I'll form a snare drum circle with some friends. Now you got an exotic name and a gimmick.
