deimos 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I saw BBM yesterday. I hope I'm wrong, but the score is winning. It's really a shame, and I have facts here:- It's really short (the 13 minutes thing is true)- The main theme, which I would not consider even a theme, is played over and over again- The variations in these loops are from few to non-existant, and that is specially irritating taking into account that the same arragements are used for the cowboys taking care of the herd and Michelle Williams realizing her husband is gay (sorry for the spoiler, but i think we all know the story). That is simply non acceptable and ridiculous. Unluckily, the combination of notes I refuse to call a theme is somehow memorable. That, linked to a movie being expected to be the winner of the night will attract enough votes to throw Geisha away. I just hope I'm wrong.

tony69 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 nah. 3 reasons why williams will win.1) it is the best score this year2) williams campaign is working i think 3) williams is old and he's pretty likely gonna die in the next 10 years(he's 74 right?). very sad, but face the facts guys:(. i think this will be his sympathy award.

tony69 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 but then again 2 reasons why williams could lose.1) brokeback. it needs to make a statement. best way by oscar sweep.2) williams is disliked in the industry. respected but disliked because of his awkward personality. so some people will vote for anything but williams, explaining why williams score lost to some trivial score in years past. like HPPOA to finding neverland. NOTE: this could be a bad generalization since i am basing this on a small sample of people i know who vote for the oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Alex North is the only composer to receive a Lifetime Achievement award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which was in 1986. I think this "one recipient a year" stuff is ridiculous. They used to give these things out 3 or 4 at a time back in the 40s. That at least enabled many worthy individuals to receive the proper recognition for their contributions to the world of cinema. How many countless living legends go unnoticed? It's depressing. They should start handing out more, but I suppose they're afraid it will divide the attention. But you know what? It doesn't matter.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 ...like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah -- the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Dear God, I really did know that entire speech by heart. I used to recite it during boring maths classes along with the First Radio in Springfield ("..just Edison reciting the alphabet. 'A' he would say. Then 'B'. 'C' would usually follow...") and the interesting story about this quarter ("...so I set the toaster to threee, medium brown..."). I am nerd.

Romão 2,274 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Before that, obviously. My point, it very rarely happens, even with scores that will remembered years from now like Our of Africa or Schindler's List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
