Lurker 5 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban a better choice to nominate than The Terminal?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgisPodmore 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Yes. Definately yes. A million times yes.The Terminal is a great score, sure, but POA was such a departure from the other two scores and is so varied (Rossini-esque classical, big band Jazz, medeival carnival-type song, Celtic recorder theme). It's so great; it was one of the best things of the summer (along with the POA movie). The score fits the movie so well, it is so much darker.The Academy made the right choice to nominate it. Now let's see if they make the right choice again!~Sturgis, whose post count is the number of degrees in an entire turn...dunno why I added that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 A score like PoA only comes up once in a decade. The Terminal, on the other hand, is a welcome achievement, but not nearly as memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Ross hit is right on the head. But I would give The Terminal a smidgin more credit.Justin - who thinks 2004 was the best year for JW scores for many a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I want to say Yes, but in another point of view... what's Williams's chances on winning with a franchise score? (Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Star Wars)The music is clearly a lot better in HPPoA then in The Terminal, but at least the film in itself is unique... well, I dunno, I put yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I say, musically they chose the better score. Now being a 2nd sequel its chances of wining are far less than a standalone work.I hope it wins in the end anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,338 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 The Terminal not memorable? The broad jazzy tune didn't leave my head for many days (maybe even weeks). The Terminal is the easily the superior score for me since it consists of less standard mickey mousing (sometimes I have the feeling I'm listening to Prequel music). ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 If I'm not mistaken, I believe one of the other polls verified that most of the people on this board feel that The Terminal works better as an album piece. But there wasn't much room for it in the movie, and although I'm probably more consciously aware of the score then I should be in order to adequately enjoy a flick, I didn't really notice Williams in it as much. As a score, PoA is way better. There was so much more for Williams to do. So in that sense, the Academy picked the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more comfortable on the head than listening to that score.I enjoyed the PotC score. Don't mistake me: IT IS BY NO MEANS REMARKABLE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, NOR SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR. That said, I find it somewhat enjoyable, though the track titles are totally messed up. I know a lot of people don't like it, but it was just a fun score, CERTAINLY not one of my favorites, though.~Sturgis, who is prepared for the reprocussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
