Elmo Lewis 6 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yeah, this is not good. Just a nomination for Geisha would have been enough, and he'd have more chances to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Great, another year that will split his votes. Potter might have beat LotR if A.I. didn't get nominated the same year. I have a bad feeling about this. I'm fearing that the Academy will want a Brokeback Mountain sweep, no matter the cost.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Does anyone know the other three scores? I haven't seen the movies, let alone heard the music!!!

nightscape94 965 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I would have figured Pride & Prejudice wouldn't be eligible because of the heavy use of Beethoven's music (or so I've heard).Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 beerchug I'm not thinking about his chances of winning right now. I'm doing cartwheels over the fact that I saw JohnWilliams' name TWICE on the nominations list.Though I'm surprised to see "The Constant Gardener" and "Pride & Prejudice" on the list.Did ya see the song nominees? Only three of them:"In the Deep" from "Crash""It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from "Hustle and Flow" "Travelin' Thru" from "Transamerica"They can pick three or five nominees. It depends on the score they give them when they hear them. I guess they didn't think highly of the others. The last time this happened was in 1988.By the way, JW is now third on the all-time nominations list with 45. "A Prayer for Peace" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanand 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Great, another year that will split his votes.

Josh500 1,615 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 No, I really do think John Williams WILL win this year . . . I'm not sure whether it'll be for Memoirs or Munich, though. I would have said Munich, if Memoirs hadn't won a Golden Globe . . . so that makes both scores equally likely to win, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Maybe the Academy did it on purpose, to force Williams into a losing position, thus strengthening Brokeback's chances.Nah, they can't possibly be that malicious.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,276 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I still think Memoirs is the clear winner. Munich may not get that many votes. Double nominations is even more reason to give him the oscar. Remember Sondenbergh a few years ago?And doesn't Williams tie Alfred Newman now? We should be celebrating nonetheless.Romão, happy for all the nominations Spielberg and Geisha got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,276 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well, I for one, I'm happy Marinelli got a nod. He's a newcomer and his score for the Brothers Grimm was great. I saw the Constant Gardener and I thought was pretty much what you would expect from a film of this genre, nothing too remarkable. BUt you guys are right, all those strange names make me feel a bit uneasy. But Memoirs will still win. C'mon, he has 2 nominations. They don't have the nerve to shut him out again.

Adam 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The only thing that might be different is that JW seems to have a publicist or his agent or somebody campaigning for him. He's getting articles in the NYTimes and elsewhere. He's got the Tonight Show appearance. So maybe he's recognized the political aspect of the awards and "his people" are playing along more this year, trying to generate as much publicity as possible. Yo Yo Ma and Perlman can't hurt either.Still, I'll go with Brokeback Mountain as well.- Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deimos 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The academy stated it clear: with only 14 minutes of score, and a lot more songs that should not be considered for this category, this score is screaming ineligible (ask Howard Shore, for instance). However, it was not only declared eligible but also nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,735 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am exstatic that Williams got two nominations!!! BUT this could mean his votes will divide amoung the two scores. I hate this situation. Williams is the clear winner but there is the danger that Academy will give the Oscar to a foreigner or new comer. This has happened way too often. I don't want to be negative but I fear Academy makes another weird move and Santaolalla wins the Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
