Richard Penna 3,781 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Go JW Out of all of his 2005's, Geisha was bound to get the nomination. I'm a little surprised to see King Kong up there, but after last night's listening, I can kinda see (hear?) why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,735 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hooray. These nominations seem to come one after another for Maestro. Great! I really hope Memoirs will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskobolus 3 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 He's got a great chance here. Narnia and Kong didn't fulfill their potential. Haven't heard Syriana or Brokeback yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 58 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 It's Williams' score to lose. Even one of the movie presenters of the E! Channel were delighted and it was the first thing he said that he was delighted for John Williams when the nominations were announced this morning.

Erik Woods 570 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I've got a bad feeling about this. I have a strange feeling that Santaolalla's over-rated score will win only becuase of the film's critical success and not on the quality of the music.-Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 John Williams has won fewer Golden Globes than Oscars ("Schindler's List" lost to "Heaven and Earth"!!!!!).I'm ecstatic about the nomination but I have never expected JW to win at the Golden Globes. The Oscars -- that's different.Jeff -- who thinks the score to "Brokeback" will win, because it's written by a foreigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 That controvercial gay cowboy film will win everything this year.But at least it's supposed to be fantastic. I'd rather have a good film like Brokeback Mountain win, then some film that doesn't necessarily deserve it.But in defense of JNH, the Kong score is awesome.I tried to get into the Narnia score, but I didn't enjoy it that much. The last few tracks are the best.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie 45 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 From The Hollywood Reporter:John Williams received his 21st Golden Globe nomination for best original score for "Memoirs of a Geisha." Despite three prior wins and two best original song noms, he said he couldn't be happier because he feels that awards gain more meaning over the years. "The Golden Globes become more and more prestigious every year, and the currency and quality of the award increases every year," he said. He added that the Golden Globes' "celebration of scores only increases the (general public's) awareness of music in film." He was surprised that "Geisha" was shut out of most other categories; the movie's only other nomination was Ziyi Zhang for best actress, drama. "I thought it was a particularly magnificent film. Rob Marshall did a beautiful job of translating the Arthur Golden book into a magnificent film, and it will certainly be appreciated by audiences. But to be fair, I've done four scores this year, and I haven't seen the other films. It makes me look forward to seeing these other films which must be marvelous indeed." The "Memoirs" score is unlike anything Williams has done, and he was thoughtful in describing it. "The score is a synergy combining Japanese material, instruments, colors and textures with a Western symphonic orchestra and Western soloists. All those elements come together to create a universal emotional message to the music." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
