Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Well, my third choice won and I'm not surprised. Finding Neverland is a wonderful score, but it is just not in the same league as The Village or PoA.

Saxbabe 28 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Also my 3rd choice. Not surprised, Finding Neverland was predicted from what I've read. To be fair, it really was a very good score.The Village and POA were vastly superior though. They didn't show the nominees enough, though the scoring session clips were cool. Williams' reaction was kind of politely disappointed, and JNH seemed to be somewhat expecting Kaczmarek.Yeah, and Best Song was just wrong. I thought Silvestri really deserved that. I would have understood the song from Les Choristes, but not "Al Lado Otro Del Rio". Not enough substance, as far as theme.

hoby12 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Chris rock is so borring!! nothing but black/white jokes. In general a very bland ceremony that went on dreadfully long even though the speeches seemed to be quite uncomfortable with Bill Conti standing by to cut you off. I am happy Morgan Freeman one - he is surely overdue. Bring back billy crystal and get some life into this show next year - I hope the ratings sucked big you know whats.PS sean penn is such a pompous #($% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 799 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I really wanted Williams to win, but I was always scared of that funny name among the nominees; they tend to win.Anyway; don't lose hope guys! John Williams could score another 10 years. He'll get another shot; perhaps even next year. Maybe Memoirs of a Geisha will be a major Oscar contender. Who knows.

bondo 33 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I actually thought Rock was the best part about the show. That whole bit where he interviewed all the black people, plus one Albert Brooks, summed up the entire show for me (Finding what? Lemony who?)

Eplicon 53 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 actually Newman looked more pissed.Although probably not as much as he did in 2000 when he lost to The Red Violin. Newman looked rather sour at having to force himself to applaud like that and pretending to be happy for John Corigliano. (I guess Newman's style is still too different to be accepted by the Academy.)I thought Williams' reaction was more of "Hmmm, interesting choice."

Mari 279 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Why the heck do you have Yo Yo playing some crappy version of Bach (I think?), but not a medly of Bernstein/Goldsmith. That was so crappy I almost threw the remote at the TV.I felt the same way about the tribute! I know the audience reaction would have been greater if they had been able to associate the composer names with their music. Bill Conti did pay his own tribute though. Before several of the commercial breaks I heard the orchestra play snippets of Star Trek, Laura and The Magnificent Seven.Kathy, happy for Morgan Freeman and disappointed about JW.

nightscape94 965 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I would have posted earlier, but i was too busy crying. j/kI, like all other JW fans, was upset, but i'll manage. You just have to keep remembering that academy awards is not the end all be all. it's his music that counts, and we all enjoy it. we have a few scores this year alone to look forward to, and the beautiful cycle will continue.

KittBash 283 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 ok so another year and another lose. Disappointing but the Academy has a knack for disappointing. Even though JW didn't win I do agree with some members that he probably has a better chance next year with say Memoirs, I think since he's been nominated SO many times his only chance to win with the academy is going to be with something that the Academy sees as a major achievement in film scores (Jaws, Star Wars) or an undeniable piece of art (like Shindlers List). not just the same amazing level of quality output he does every year (which they do acknowledge with the nominations I think, but not enough), I think the problem with Williams not winning has more to do with his consistent high level of output which has raised the bar for him to win higher then it should be he has made the art of great film scoring into the everyday. All I can say is that if JW never wins another one he has won everyone as far as I'm concerned and if they don't give this man the lifetime achievement award at an Oscar ceremony sometime down the road they will have missed the greatest opportunity to acknowledge one of the best if not the best composer in movie history.Brian99_1 - who is now getting off his soap box till next year and YEAH bring back Billy Crystal!

Bowie 45 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 People have to realise most tech category wins are chosen by the "eeny meeny miney moe" method.Which was the case for Score yesterday, when voters went "meh might as well reward Finding Neverland with something".But I can assure you, Williams' wins for Star Wars, Jaws and E.T. were because at least 20% of the Academy fell in love with the music for what it was worth, not what film it was associated with or what nationality the name seemed to hail from.

JWFAN4LIFE 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I like many were very disappointed that JW did not win and do agree with the fact that no award can take away from us how special his music really and what it means to us. I can say who actually knows what the academy is looking for, they seem to change there rules every year. To me it is just a glorfied show that in the end of the day really means nothing because usually movies we have never even seen or heard of win. JW did look a little disappointed, I think he did believe he really had a chance to win this year. In our hearts we know who really won.I say bring Chris Rock back again, he was pretty funny and in many ways he almost made you forget about how long the show was because you wanted to see what he was going to do or say next.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Elmer Bernstein, not surprisingly, was the only one of the composers who received substantial applause.Bill Conti did manage to sneak in music by Raksin, Goldsmith, and Bernstein during the commercial break segues, but I'm sorry that that's what had to pass for a tribute to these legends.

Jeshopk 8 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Most of them were probably clapping for Leonard Bernstein. I was shocked by the lukewarm applause for Goldsmith.I am surprised at all the Aviator nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 You guys actually watch that crap? Or care who wins or loses? It's a polularity contest between a bunch of whiney-PC-to-the-point-of-hatred filth and self-worshipfest between champagne socialists er, socialites. I abhore that nonsense, a living example of why I ignore, and sometimes even hate the Hollywood industry and 90-95% of the garbage that comes out of it.
