When I was younger, yeah, but these days I hardly care anymore. Usually I spend most of the ceremony sleeping. Tommy Newman once complained that I snored too loudly and it was impossible to hear the acceptance speeches.

Popular Post Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 I don't really have a joke to make. I'm just really happy she was there. Must have meant a lot to Williams, I'd imagine. I'm glad that the newer actors in these films like Daisy seemed to be really appreciative of him and his impact on these films and really tried to make the most of it. I'm just tickled that Williams got to know this new group and connect with them in a way similar to the the OT cast (perhaps more profound even), and that that connection seems to be have been formed more from a willingness on the part of the actors to reach out and befriend him than the other way around. crlbrg, crumbs, SteveMc and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crumbs 14,306 Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 I agree, it's very touching and I'm sure it means a lot to Williams. For someone who cares so deeply about their craft, to see these young actors (who could easily brush off the film after shooting ends) being so enthused about his process and contribution to the production, must be very heartening. And yes, I'm sure the actors reached out and asked to attend rather than JW instigating it, hence his surprise at seeing Daisy during the TFA sessions. I'm sure this really sweet friendship was the last thing either of them expected when signing on to this trilogy.

Fabulin 3,511 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I looked everywhere for a quote, interview, or just about anything mentioned in writing. Couldn't locate a single statement. Probably the only person who knows about such comments 30 years after Bernstein's death... is Williams. Which is a pity. I love Bernstein's lectures and his passion for music, and sometimes I wonder if he would apply some of the same quotes he has about various composers' music to Williams' music as well. The biggest miss is probably that this musical "Poe Dameron", if it's not sacrilegious to describe him that way, never conducted Williams. A suite from just about any of the 1970s / 1980s Williams film in the hands of Bernstein could have been an instant film music classic. Alas, he was from a generation earlier, and in essence, a generation too early for that. The earliest born people to conduct Williams' music came from his own generation, didn't they? [Edit: @Bespin's Discography seems to suggest that the only person from a generation earlier who conducted a recording of Williams' music was Stan Kenton (b. 1911), who conducted the Prelude and Fugue in 1965] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulin 3,511 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 But Mancini doesn't count. And neither (obviously) does Gerhardt. The point here is that while numerous first league conductors of Williams' generation or later conducted his music, none of those from a generation before (like Lenny) did.
