NeejaHalycon 0 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 !!!!!!!!!!When Nick Cage presented the Master and Commander Clip, I jokingly said to the people I was watching with, "I bet they wish they could use the Children of Dune score for their clip." And they DID! You know, if I were one of the Master and Commander composers, I'd be pretty ticked tptb didn't their score was good enough for Oscar Night. Using a different score in the trailers is one thing, but Oscar Night?! Come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Shore 2 oscars for LotR.RotK is probably the most deserving score THIS year,but he sure as hell didn't deserve it for Fellowship,where he friggen stole it from Williams for A.I AND Harry Potter ...I'm still pissed off about that hence my grudge against Shore to this day.I say give a retroactive oscar to John Williams for ESB K.M.Who knows JW must be pissed off right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yes,exactly...the whole LotR scores can be thinned down to one c.d. of material without loss much important contents...the LotR are basically the same score stretched out for 3 movies,unlike Williams Indy and SW sequel scores.I can say that because I have all 3 LotR c.d.'s now and the music is sooooo boring at times I'm having difficulty making it to the end,let alone listen to them twice to pick out my favourite cues.and how many Oscars is it now?...i'm starting to get slightly irritated hearing that Gondor themeK.M.Who now has a signed copy of an Oscar winning score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 ROTK seems destined to win nearly everything except acting Oscars. I guess this is what happens when your movie opens against an exceptionally WEAK field. OH and I totally agree about Shore winning in 2002. That was BS!Here his victory could be explained since the ROTK score was like the ONLY noteworthy movie score released all bloody year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I take back what I said about the Best Makeup, it should have gone to Monster,to make the stunningly beautiful Charlize Theron into Aileen Wuornosif that isn't what Best Make Up is all about, I don't know what is.So far there have been no surprises.That will be the headline about the 76th Oscars.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Meh! Most of ROTK's Oscars though are just those in technical fields. These pretty much go to whoever has the biggest budget. Like with Titanic.So its hardly surprising ROTK came out on top this time. Still, the winner is ultimately still the winner. I severly doubt The makers of LOTR care about the fact they won against a weak field as long as they get to take home the BIG TROPHY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 OH yeah and in response to what Joe said about Sean Penn I still feel Bill Murray was friggin robbed. That dude deserved the Best Actor Oscar ALOT more than Penn did IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't compare the Oscars today to the Oscars of the late 70's. Completely different ball game. The Motion Picture Industry is a completely different beast now. Back when SW came out signifcant technical advances in Special Effects could come out of a small studio like Lucas' ILM (which was really nothing before SW was made). The technical awards are great too, and when you have an ensemble film like LOTR, its hard to give alot of acting nominations.An esemble cast didn't prevent Mystic River from getting acting Oscars. The weaker acting field in LOTR and Jackson winning the Oscar for Best Director proves the statement once made that the "Est Director Oscar usuallt goes to the director with the best PRODUCED movie and NOT the BEST DIRECTED one!". Jackson is a very good director, but definately not worthy of a Best Director Oscar. Ahhh well ....... not like I care though. I personally wasn't rooting for or against anyone this year. Bill Murray was the only exception. Who I was admittedly pissed to see lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it ran against a weak field. Which it was. In terms of Oscar worthy movies I mean. I mean this was HARDLY a year of major competition. What was ROTK's biggest competition really? Mystic River? Thats HARDLY major comeptition. Now of course its certainly not ROTK's fault that the movie faced weak competition. They just got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
