Edmilson 7,454 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Shawshank. Newman should've won in 94, while Zimmer should've won in 98, either by The Prince of Egypt or The Thin Red Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 ...or...a certain J. Williams esq., for SAVING PRIVATE RYAN These scores seem to be chalk and cheese, but THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION stamps all over THE LION KING, and goes "Cock-a-doodle doo".

crocodile 8,012 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Shawshank is probably better as music but is it more enjoyable? The Lion King, on the other hand, started my hobby. I'm undecided. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the professional film music critic; me or you?😁 TSS is one of the most overrated films of all time. Check out ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ to see how it's done( you can read my article on the film in CINEMA RETRO)! Jurassic Shark and gkgyver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,454 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Lemony Snicket, The Good German... he could've won for all of these movies. In every one of those cases the score that won was inferior to Newman's. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In every one of those cases the score that won was inferior to Newman's. The Red Violin > American Beauty (though the Newman is more iconic, and influential) I would agree that the others you listed were ultimately better than what won, but they were all in very competitive batches of some quality scores (with the exception of Babel...which is a massive Academy fuckup). And the contenders were usually attached to higher prestige films. But Shawshank is where the merit and prestige of the film and music aligned in how it resonated with audiences everywhere. Both Shawshank and American Beauty were his best chances at the Oscar, especially given how those scores went on to define his place in Hollywood and the many imitators that followed him.
