Elmo Lewis 6 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 My big concern is Finding Neverland. If the movie wins Best Picture, it will be given the award as an extra token (like it's happened so often, see Shakespeare in Love). If it doesn't win, it'll be an excellent consolation prize (as it's happened so often, see Life is Beautiful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yes,but PoA won't win major awards despite beeing very well reviewed,so they might toss it the score oscar to acknowledge it,along with other technical awards.anyways who remembers the score to Finding Neverland,it wasn't such a popular filmThis is Williams best hope in years.I don't see any reason why any of these choices is a major threat.Thank god he wasn't nominated for Terminal also.K.M.

Saxbabe 28 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I was overjoyed at seeing the nominations! Of my 5 choices, 4 have been nominated.Man I am so happy, they didn't overlook The Village. Richly deserved.Giacchino should have a got a nom, but maybe they thought it was too derivative in places? So they put Lemony Snicket, which is kind of off the wall. JW really deserves to win this award! We'll see, Finding Neverland has lot of support.... But who knows.Greta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,794 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 HP scores need an Oscar, if ROTK won 11 (in recognition of the entire trilogy surely), they should give Williams the oscars, even if it is a sequel.

Josh500 1,615 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I really believe that this is John Williams' year. The Academy needs to acknowledge his work on the HP series. Although the award will be for PoA, in truth the Oscar will be in consideration of all three HP scores. I wonder what kind of acceptance speech he will give. Maybe, like Spielberg, he'll start by saying, "Did I really want this?" (Or something to that effect.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 As I predicted in an earlier post, John Debney will probably get the coveted Oscar. As for Best Director, my feeble effort on EXTERNAL MOONLIGHT OF AN EXTREMELY DIRTY MIND didn't even get a nomination. Personally, I hope Scorsese doesn't get it as the movie was awful. Go on, Clint...make Marty's day and put him out of his misery.Hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Seriously, this is a strong field, stronger than alot of years.MUSIC (SCORE)FINDING NEVERLANDHARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABANLEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTSTHE PASSION OF THE CHRISTTHE VILLAGEI worry that John's score while in my biased opinion is the best, that the Academy will have to give some lip service to the Passion of the Christ, and its $340+ million boxoffice draw, and this is the easy spot to do so.I've listened to Denby's score and I do like it, but its not POA's quality.I've not heard Finding Neverland, and I've heard on snickets of Lemony Snicket, so I can't say about those,but I know that the Villiage, despite its overly harsh criticisms is a really fine score, actually a terrific one.But as I've said several times, if a score like Return of the King, which was much more closely related to the first two LOTR scores, can win, then POA, which relied very little on the two previous scores, can win too.btw, this years Oscars feature some of the most uninteresting films. 2004 was a dismal year for movies, as has been the case for most of the 21st century. Granted there were some interesting films, but some just too bizarre.best visual effects is a joke this year, an absolute travesty.none of the 3 films nominated even deserve to be nominated.this year they should have given a special award to Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, nothing else comes even close.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 So they put Lemony Snicket, which is kind of off the wall. Greta Aren't all of Thomas Newman's scores pretty much off-the-wall? Except for "Little Women.""The Village," sadly is the only of the score nominees I have not heard. I missed it in the theaters (too busy) and it's always rented out at the video store.Anyway, this is great news for John Williams. I am just happy he got nominated. I had my doubts there for a little bit.Jeff -- not picking a winner yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Congratulations to Jan A. P. Kaczmarek on his first Academy Award nomination! Overall, I feel Finding Neverland is the most deserving, although James Newton Howard's handsome tribute to Vaughan Williams would be a fine choice as well.Overall, the writing in for the third HP installment is Williams's strongest for the series, but I don't consider it an outright classic as Williams's previous wins in this category were.I don't think the other two nominees are worthy -- Newman's done much better work, and Debney's score unimaginatively rehashes cinematic World Music's "greatest hits" -- and wish the Academy had given one of those nods to Badalamenti for his powerful A Very Long Engagement, which is, I think, the finest score for a war film since Zimmer's A Thin Red Line.

I want John to win, as most here do, but POA, which is supposedly the best of the 3 according to most, an opinion I strongly disagree with, made about 100 million less than The Passion of the Christ. There is a strong anti Passion faction in Hollywood, wonder who they are???, Mel Gibson's name is mud, but the huge boxoffice, and enormous dvd sales are due so lip service, and this is an easy choice.No lip service is due to HPPOA because it underperformed.If John wins, its because he was worthy of winning. Wasn't he supposedly the favorite for CMIYC, and he still lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoby12 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Oscars are no more then a popularity contest, I guarantee you that 95 Percent of the people voting couldn't hum a single bar from any of the nominees (except the voting composers, music editors etc....). Its like OK Passion had music, great I will vote for that since I didn't vote for it for best cinematography etc....I will root for JW, yet I will also be satsified with JNH getting one for his shelf.Debney is great - but Passion is not an Oscar Worthy score - there is really nothing much to it, especially it lacks originality.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm very happy Williams got a very well-deserved nod for his wonderful Azkaban score. It's surely the best of the bunch. But I'm happy also for Newton Howard and Tom Newman and their excellent scores, which are some of the best of the year. I haven't listened yet to Kaczmarek's Finding Neverland, but I've read a lot positive comments about it. No comment about The Passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange 446 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Listened to POA for the first time today (yes, you can start laughing now). I live in a backwater called Britain. It's old, and it takes a long time for me to hear about what is going on elsewhere. I still haven't seen the film (double shock). But i do like this third score. It's experimental and very balanced.Btw, i hear there is a film in town called Jaws. Anyone seen it? What's the plot? I'd love to hear about it.Btw. Was this deliberate?

Besides what wrong with a little recognition from your peers and those in the business.also to further disprove your point, then in 78, 80, and 81, John would have been the winners for those 3 years big boxoffice hits.
