But I don't think he will get a nomination this year.  Karol  Sadly, I think you may be right but it depends on what they put on the FYC. If it comes down between The Post and TLJ, I think The Post is more likely to be nominated. I just don't see both being nominated.

We learned to be happy with what we got.  We've been really spoiled in recent years, haven't we? So much that now, we don't get to realize how lucky we are to have unreleased material so quickly. I mean, we got the TFA OST, and then just a few days later, the FYC was there, even before we could really lament the missing unreleased cues, and really feel the need for them to be released, and thus we don't get to appreciate the added music as much as we would have, had we waited a few years to get it.  I used to be part of those people who want to get their hands on unreleased music as quickly as possible, but recently, I've realized you don't get to appreciate it as much if you get it right away instead of having to wait a few years to finally get to listen to it. That's why I've personally decided, after just one or two listens of the TFA FYC, to not revisit it until a few years down the line, using that time to really get familiar with the OST, appreciate it and the material that was in fact included, actually miss what wasn't included, etc... and when I'll really feel like the OST isn't enough and I'll really feel the urge to listen to more music from TFA, then I'll get to the FYC, and I know I'll appreciate more then than if I had listened to it repeatedly right after it was released.  But yeh, at the very least, it's nice to know a big chunk of the unreleased music is already out there, so taht you can listen to it whenever you feel like it. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,878 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I think it's more just the desire to assemble a more complete version of the score right off the bat, before becoming accustomed to the incomplete OST. Â I don't think I've ever listened to the TFA FYC in isolation, just mined it for music to expand the OST with. bollemanneke and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,541 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I know, but to me, the idea is ultimately the same: listen to the unreleased music right away, and as I've said, it's something I've decided to move away from, to appreciate both the official release and the unreleased material more.

crumbs 14,878 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I do think I'll break from convention and listen to the entire FYC "blind", discovering new music without actually knowing it's coming. I feel familiar enough with the OST that I'll be able to pick up on the differences straight away. Â Best of both worlds that way! Kind of like experiencing a special edition version of a movie without knowing what new scenes it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,878 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We'll be lucky to get more than 15 minutes of unreleased music, IMHO. Â They could just as easily scrap half the thematic stuff and make the FYC 40 minutes long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ren 997 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I would be happy with that as long as we get newer stuff. I'm really looking forward to that Training Scene. Also for the Poe's theme in Escape. I don't know if anyone has noticed but I think Poe's theme appears in the album around the half of the track Peace and Purpose. It's a slow and beautiful rendition of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â More likely there'll be tracks with existing themes buried into other music, so likely a lot of the action flourishes scattered around the film.

crumbs 14,878 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 7 minutes out of about 110? Williams was quite boastful about it.  TFA relies very heavily on new thematic material. Rey, Kylo x2, Jedi Steps, Resistance March, Poe, Finn's motif and so forth. TLJ has a lot less original music, or music that doesn't reference existing themes.

crumbs 14,878 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 That was like 14 years ago! The rules have changed a lot since then.  For starters, you can't submit a FYC that isn't an exact replication of how the score appears in the film, complete with edits and tracked music. Williams was still submitting his OST presentations around 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year later The Return Of The King was nominated however and won. The Academy can change their approach to sequel scores at any time and it isn't a new thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
