Lewya 360 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 http://www.indiewire.com/2018/02/anonymous-oscar-ballot-voter-best-picture-three-billboards-lady-bird-1201927235/ Best Original Score The only thing I really liked about “Phantom Thread.” It really reflected the era. Although I thought the score for “Three Billboards” was very good; it felt as though it accented the film in all the right ways. “Get Out” had a terrific score. Very important in a horror film. Post more ballots if you find them, apparently there will be more coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 When a voter submits a ballot, is it anonymous or are names attached? I'm not sure how the process works. I assumed it was all done digitally somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewya 360 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Four more ballots are in: Best Score “Dunkirk”: Hans Zimmer. It’s all one cue! And “Phantom Thread” had a great score. http://www.indiewire.com/2018/02/anonymous-oscar-ballot-executive-blade-runner-2049-three-billboards-1201930691/ Best Original Score Jonny Greenwood wrote an amazing score [for “Phantom Thread”]. http://www.indiewire.com/2018/02/anonymous-oscar-ballot-publicist-phantom-thread-darkest-hour-1201928160/ Best Original Score “Dunkirk” deserves to win. It’s such a sustained piece of anxiety and Zimmer successfully masks the cold formalism of Nolan’s diktat. “Shape of Water” could well win, which would be a matter of despair for me. It’s just such a by-the-numbers score. Such a well-trodden path. The lushness of the “Phantom Thread” score was a beautiful departure from the more abstract contemporary work we expect from Greenwood. I also loved Daniel Hart’s music for “A Ghost Story,” it stayed in my mind a long time and I wish it was in the mix despite the film not being perhaps as captivating as its score. http://www.indiewire.com/2018/02/anonymous-oscar-ballot-editor-get-out-the-shape-of-water-1201929363/ Another one: Best Original Score: Phantom Thread “I actually broke ranks with The Shape of Water and I went with Phantom Thread. I liked the music a lot.” https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2018/02/22/anonymous-canadian-oscar-voter-tells-all-three-billboards-is-overrated-nearly-fell-asleep-during-phantom-thread.html Note: None of the five voters so far have been from the music branch.

Lewya 360 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Another ballot, negative comment on The Last Jedi "same old shit, nothing new there": Best Original Score Knock The Last Jedi off the list — same old shit, nothing new there. Then Dunkirk — the score and the drone of the airplane seemed interchangeable to me, just relentless. Carter Burwell is great, but I wasn’t in love with Three Billboards. Phantom Thread was great and probably the score I’d most want to listen to apart from a movie. But The Shape of Water’s score was a seamless part of it and helped me to feel transported into its world. My Vote: The Shape of Water https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/brutally-honest-oscar-ballot-call-me-by-your-name-is-wrong-post-got-spielberg-ized-1088406/item/honest-oscars-ballot-best-original-score-1089169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewya 360 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Two more ballots, still no ballot from the music branch: Best Original Score I eliminated Three Billboards, then the Jedi movie [Star Wars: The Last Jedi] and Dunkirk, which I thought were just kind of loud. The Shape of Water's score was good, but I just thought that the music in Phantom Thread — even though I didn’t like the movie that much — was incredible. When I got the disc, I listened to it again, and I thought he [Jonny Greenwood] really captured that whole era in his music. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/brutally-honest-oscar-ballot-get-filmmakers-played-race-card-just-sick-meryl-streep-1090440/item/best-original-score-2018-brutally-honest-oscar-ballot-2-1090487 Score “The Shape of Water.” We’re never going to allow something that isn’t well-made to sneak into whatever the trend is that year. The movie does fit into the trend and the politics. It’s well-made and original and inspiring. It breaks some new ground. http://www.indiewire.com/2018/02/anonymous-oscar-ballot-producer-oscar-voters-1201933136/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 They are mostly spot on. Now that we know the outcome i wish more of the voters would have some dick instead of always voting for the most pleasing and less risky choice in the music category (as much as i congratulate Desplat, the whole project reeks of consensus filmmaking without much of an edge to it). Phantom Thread should have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KK 3,307 Posted March 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2018 What's even more frustrating is how many of these guys acknowledged the unique qualities of Greenwood's score and how it deserved the award but voted for the Desplat instead because of the film's standing.
