That would be a major kick in the nuts to Williams.I've heard this before.Can anyone please tell me why this would be an insult to Williams?If GOF is nominated (which is doubtfull IMO) it is going up against other scores of that year, NOT the earlier Potter scores by Williams.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Based on what I've heard this year, I guess my five favorites/most deserving would be...Memoirs of a Geisha - though it left me emotionally detached for a long while, I may be starting to penetrate its elusive and subtle heart...and in any case, there's no doubt that the Asian influences and overall composition is inspired and greatly impressive.Munich - certainly more moving and heartfelt than Geisha, with the appropriately mournful Munich theme, which is almost unbearably tragic when presented with Lisbeth Scott's grief-stricken vocals, and the terrific Avner's theme, probably JW's best theme this year. The flashback sequences are surprisingly listenable, with the high strings repeating what I presume to be the theme for Black Sunday.King Kong - an amazingly solid and coherent work for the time frame in which it was composed. JNH rose admirably to the challenge of this project, and delivered a fun, thrilling, and emotional score. I'm still discovering certain parts of it, but it's surely a contender for the year's most impressive.The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - What can I say, this is my favorite score of the year. Though perhaps not as orchestrally exuberant and rich as HGW's other masterpiece (Sinbad), it's a perfect fantasy score that complements and enhances the film seamlessly. There's a myriad of themes which are really quite impressively developed and woven around one another throughout the score, very subtly at times. And little inspired touches like the brief tinkling of bells as Lucy peeks out of the wardrobe, the ethereal chorus when she opens it again and the candle is blown out, the melody and development of Tumnus' lullaby into a ritualistic chant , and the lovely little non-thematic flute line as Edmund returns to his family, really set this score apart from the generic, cookie cutter MV scores Narnia has been ignorantly compared to solely because of its composer's early origins.Corpse Bride - I'm not entirely familiar with all of this score, but there are some great highlight's to Elfman's work, and the main theme is simply outstanding in its flowing understatedness. The songs are generally good too.Who knows what'll really happen, though. I'll be happy if some or any of these is recognized with a nomination, and finally seeing JW win live would be a real treat. I just hope I won't have to work during the boradcast. Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Steef, I think "Brokeback Mountain" is being allowed because many of the songs in the body of the film are not really heard well enough to be thought of as diluting Santaollalo's score. Remember, the major song in the film is not eligible because it's hard to hear it in the film.But I think if "Goblet of Fire" were to win, it would be a blow to JW, because voters will have the main Potter theme in their head (which is featured in Doyle's score), look at the other scores, and think "Hey, this is a good time to give an award to the Potter theme."In case you're wondering, here's my list of potential nominees:Brokeback MountainKing KongMemoirs of a GeishaMunichThe Chronicles of Narnia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, and you said it better than I. About Corpse Bride, I've recently listened to a few more of the score tracks, and "Into the Forest" in particular is absolutely incredible.By the way, here's what I think will be nominated:-Brokeback Mountain-Memoirs of a Geisha-King KongI don't know what others, but I think either Memoirs or Mountain will win, no matter what the quality of the scores.~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 My picks:4th The Brothers Grimm (Dario Marianelli)3rd Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (Patrick Doyle)5th King Kong (James Newton Howard)2nd Munich (John Williams)1st Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of The Sith (John Williams)Justin - Noticing that '05 was not a good year at all for non-JW types.

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 2 likely winners:Memoirs of a Geisha:Has a lot going for it.Good buzz for the score.Yo Yo Ma and Perlman perform.Williams has done 4 good scores this year and may be awarded for that feat.Won Golden Globe and Critics Choice.Very noticeable in the film.Several articles about Williams in magazines lately,so the press HAS noticed.Williams doing the Tonight Show is a good sign too meaning the score to Geisha has separated itself from the rest of the flawed film(and why is Williams suddenly interesting enough for the Tonight Show?He's NEVER been on a late night talk show before,so this is special)Brokeback Mountain:a repetitious minimalistic guitar score.May win not because it's any good buy because of the songs in the film or if Hollywood decides this is the year "to show support to the gay community" by giving gay themed films every single award.oh,and Chronicles of Narnia won't win anything because some people see the bible in it and that doesn't fly far with the Academy these days.K.M.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yeah, I remember that. I laughed because there was no way they could have known he would do that.Or, remember Adrian Brody saying "shit" three times after he won his Oscar.And another great uncensored moment in TV history:After winning the 4x200 freestyle relay at the Olympics, one member of the USA team said "Fuck yeah!"

Trumpeteer 302 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 This just in, from the Los Angeles Times:A typical disqualification was "The New World," in which director Terrence Malick relied too heavily on passages from Wagner and Mozart for James Horner's score to qualify.I wonder now if they made consideration about the heavy use of source music in "Geisha." I think it's eligible. If it wasn't the Times would have said so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
