Indeed! Well earned.

 

How is it well earned?

 

First of all the score should have been eligible. And it is not good music.

Ennio already got the lifetime award for his funny little tunes...Consolation prize, nothing more.

You make it sound like Zimmer won last night!

 

Morricone is the real deal

[Incanus 5,713]

Let us be magnanimous in defeat. Even those who are posting drunk or bellicously hung over.

Why? Because you don't like it?

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

Yes. I'm the master of my mind.

Well it was a talk by very disappointed drunken fanboy. Sorry for that.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Sure... "It was just the booze talking"...

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

So, the apology excepted?

Should have been eligible? I love when typos completely derail foreign arguments. 

[leeallen01 2,133]

No offense to Morricone, because he clearly has had an incredible career and you could see the emotion in his speech, but I find his Hateful Eight score graining, repetitive and averagely standard. I don't see the brilliance in it at all unfortunately. I haven't seen the film, so I'm guessing it may be one of those that works perfectly with the film, but as a listening experience, it doesn't do anything for me at all.

Well if one drunken poster missed one "not" and that cause love for you... it must be...nice.

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

It's funny how the news are forgetting morricone had a lifetime achievement award already.

 

I hope that the academy reconsiders itself and the honorary oscars go to deceased people or truly retired people.

 

Morricone deserved to have an oscar, long overdue. But awarding him one after a 'lifetime award' is kinda weird....

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

They figured he would die soon!

Yes! Two minutes for me for unsportmanlike conduct!

 

But honestly I listened the 7 minutes opener of the winner for the first time and couldn't make it through.. :]

[Wojo 2,453]

It's cute people think this will make Williams a shoe in for The BFG next year. No, Williams has more than one Oscar, so now Morricone will need multiple Oscars too. 

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Yes!

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

Who?

[BloodBoal 7,538]

The new John Williams.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Michael Cappuccino?

[BloodBoal 7,538]

No, that guy is the new Latte.

[Romão 2,274]

 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Delightful 

[Jay 37,287]

Anybody notice he was sitting in a different spot for that bit than he was when the Best Original Score oscar was announced?

[Muad'Dib 1,801]

Yeah, they probably changed him for that bit and then he got back with the rest. Or at intermission they made all the composers go to that balcony.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Yes. "The lepers' balcony", as they call it.

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

So that was set up, rehearsed? Last night I was sure it was a sudden idea of these three robots and they were improvising...

If you can't hear the clarity, compositional craft and mastery of orchestral colour displayed in L'Inferno Bianco or Raggi di Sole Sulla Montagna, then they have fallen on deaf ears. And "averagely standard" (a tautology) compared to what? The score sounds like no other composer writing today, and that is one of its strengths. Get yo head out of yo ass.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Leeallen is a huge fan of Michael Giacchino.

 

Just saying...

What merit is that?

 

If one doesn't like his writing one just doesn't.

Individuality. One of the greatest merits there is.

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

So individuality is synonym to the great quality?

[Sharkissimo 1,973]

No...

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

But thats what you are kinda saying to a guy who doesn't like his writing. And I 'm one of them. But maybe my head really is in my ass.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

yes!

[leeallen01 2,133]

I just don't hear the masterful originality you speak of. It sounds like something anyone could do. I'm not saying I don't like Morricone. I've just never really been exposed to a great deal of his music as I've seen very little of the films he's scored. I can't compare it to his previous work because I know very little of it. 

 

And if you wish to use my enjoyment of Giacchino's music as an insult to me, you will fail, as I'm not offended by my personal taste. Oh yeah and Giacchino's 4 efforts in 2015 are all more impressive than the Hateful Eight. 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I am just putting your opinion into its proper context.

[leeallen01 2,133]

It's good to know you like hateful eight score, now I can judge future comments from yourself about quality in a lesser way.

Yeah, I think that the nominees in the various technical categories are just scattered around the middle/back of the theater, and then when their category comes up they all go to that balcony by the stage so they don't waste air time walking up to the stage from their horrible seat.

 

They could of course put all the nominees in the front rows and not just the actors with other assorted random celebs, but....that would be silly!

[leeallen01 2,133]

They put the Composers closer to the stage because the only two that were ever going to win are both octogenarians that don't want to walk 30 miles to get the award.

So you're just young and ignorant. I'll forgive you.

Awesome new avatar, Sharky.

[Muad'Dib 1,801]

Really? Anyone could write Raggi di Sole Sulla Montagna? Please, show me examples.
