crumbs 14,300 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah I doubt anyone had heard TLJ before nominations were closed, so it wasn't eligible. Might hurt its chances of an Oscar nom. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 For what it's worth, TFA and RO weren't nominated for any GG either. Simply because Disney wanted the films to be under wraps until release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text below is not very valid for attention. Edit: The text says that John Williams and Hans Zimmer are strong opponents for Greenwood. Edit. 2: I left the image alone to avoid misunderstandings.

James 119 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It's a beautiful score. It's not the most original, but it's easily one of his best works. Now it is more than likely that he will receive another Oscar this year. Lockdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music, like the film, was chaotic and insulting to the viewer. My friend was extremely vocal about how annoying and pretentious it was throughout. Both he and I are fans of Zimmer but this was a giant turd by Nolan and likely his direction towards the music as well. Just a horrible, horrible film with only a few things worth praising and the rest a giant slap in the face to anyone who's not a Nolan teet-suckling fanboy. It's pretty insulting to the thousands of British soldiers who saved 30,000+ stranded English AND French troops as well, rather than just Mark Rilance and a couple pleasure craft and commercial boaters.

publicist 4,643 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I accept that as overbearing-if-hypnotic sound design. It should never have been labeled as 'film MUSIC' (maybe the slowed-down Elgar, but even that...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Sure, Dunkirk is sound designy, but it has that suspenseful ticking clock vibe, it got people talking and will probably be another trendsetter.

Combine that with a brisk running time, a largely unknown ensemble cast, and an event that doesn't mean much to most Americans, and I guess you don't have something with staying power.
