Popular Post Fabulin 3,510 Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 http://filmmusiccritics.org/2020/02/ifmca-award-winners-2019/ Quote The International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) announces its list of winners for excellence in musical scoring in 2019, in the 2019 IFMCA Awards. The award for Score of the Year goes to legendary veteran John Williams for his score for the ninth and final Star Wars film, “The Rise of Skywalker,”(...) In describing the score, IFMCA member James Southall described “The Rise of Skywalker” as ‘one last brilliant piece of musical adventure to call time on his signature work … a triumphant conclusion to an extraordinary musical saga,’ and also said that ‘it’s simply impossible to overstate Williams’s contribution to the series’ success’. The score is also named Best Original Score for a Fantasy/Science Fiction/Horror Film, while the main theme “The Rise of Skywalker” is named Film Music Composition of the Year. The IFMCA has also chosen to bestow a Special Award on Williams, primarily in recognition of his near-unparalleled achievement in scoring the 9-movie saga that began with the original Star Wars film in 1977. IFMCA member Jon Broxton opined that ‘no-one has achieved the holy triumvirate of musical excellence, peer respect, and pop culture recognition the way that John Williams has,’ and described the entire Star Wars saga as ‘works of staggering genius and beauty … his Ring Cycle, the work that will define his life and his legacy, a nine-movement 25-hour masterpiece of enduring musical brilliance that has taken a full 42 years to come to fruition’.(...) The IFMCA Roberto Aschieri Special Award, which is named in memory of the IFMCA member from Argentina who died in 2017, is not awarded every year, and is only given to projects or individuals that the membership deems worthy of significant recognition outside of the ‘regular’ IFMCA categories. These are the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th IFMCA Award wins of Williams’s career; he previously won Score of the Year awards for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2015, “War Horse” in 2011, and “Memoirs of a Geisha” in 2005. In the Compilation category, the award goes to producer Bernhard Güttler of the Deutsche Grammophon label for “Across the Stars,” a new compilation of classic John Williams film music pieces re-arranged for virtuoso violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, conducted by Williams himself with the Recording Arts Orchestra of Los Angeles.

Edmilson 7,395 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 *checks the other winners* FILM COMPOSER OF THE YEAR • BEAR McCREARY Broxton probably had a hand that, he loved McCreary's (quite overrated) Godzilla score. BEST ORIGINAL SCORE FOR A DRAMA FILM • LITTLE WOMEN, music by Alexandre Desplat Really? BEST ORIGINAL SCORE FOR A COMEDY FILM • JOJO RABBIT, music by Michael Giacchino REALLY?! BEST ORIGINAL SCORE FOR TELEVISION • CHERNOBYL, music by Hildur Guðnadóttir REALLY?!? Also, with all due respect for Williams, this year's Film Music Composition of the year should've come to Silvestri's Portals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,395 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 On most years, yeah, but IFMCA used to be better. Best TV score for Chernobyl, really?

REALLY?? I watched this show and was surprised of Johnnys SW wins. And I almost stop watching during the composer of the year part, McCreary's music is probably closest what I hate most in film music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,675 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I can get behind Powell, Price and Newman winning. Our Planet is an impressive achivement (for which I was delighted to discover that the complete score was released) and while 1917 is a bit of a 'works better in the film' score in places, it has a number of absolute stunner tracks in there. My score of the year is easily HTTYD. I just don't think TROS matches Powell's use of themes, orchestration, and consistent quality. Little Women.... still don't get it. And I pay little attention to Giacchino these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 "Portals" is one of the best cues of the year, imo, but "Rise of Skywalker" is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
