Why can't Oscar snubs be trialed by the justice system? They would clearly call in favour of Hamlisch!<br /><br />For Original Score I would've nominated Alexandre Desplat for sure. I think I prefer <i>Fantastic mr Foxx</i>, but his scores for <i>Coco Avant Chanel</i>, <i>Julie & Julia</i> and <i>New Moon</i> (from what I heard of it on the soundtrack - didn't see the movie, but the soundtrack is great) were all wonderful. I haven't seen <i>Cheri</i> though and haven't listened to the score.<br /><br />I would also nominate <i>The Informant</i>, <i>Mao's Last Dancer</i> (it would totally get an Oscar nom if the movie would get an American release), <i>Moon</i> and <i>Star Trek</i>.<br /><br />Also really liked <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i>, <i>Sherlock Holmes</i>, <i>Mary and Max</i>, <i>The Road</i> and <i>Easy Virtue</i>. I don't remember any of the music from <i>The Hurt Locker</i> unfortunately and my thoughts on the music from <i>Up</i> is the same as the movie itself. Nice, but nowhere near the best. Giacchino deserved the Oscar for <i>Ratatouille</i>, not <i>Up</i>.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194113062830373898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40325029356398759572010-02-07T21:21:13.808-05:002010-02-07T21:21:13.808-05:00A Single Man's omission might be the worst snu...A Single Man's omission might be the worst snub in the short history of the FiLM BiTCH awards?Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-83282340694917682492010-02-07T20:16:57.590-05:002010-02-07T20:16:57.590-05:00I thought this year had remarkably good animated f...I thought this year had remarkably good animated film scores...Ponyo, Coraline, Up, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Princess and the Frog were all fantastic, in my opinion...probably my five favorites of the year!<br /><br />I did not really notice the score for The Hurt Locker when I saw it but then when it got a nomination I went back and listened to it...and realized how brilliant it was.<br /><br />Also, New Moon actually did have a pretty good score.

Anyway... i find the topic of scores so interesting but still a mystery to me. Some of the best scores you barely notice while you're watching a film they're helping so much.<br /><br />Other times the score is overwhelming and you either hate it or love it.<br /><br />But reaction to music seems to be among the most personal and polarizing.<br /><br />I would love DVDs to have a function where you could watch the movie with just the score and no other sound.<br /><br />that'd be interesting and it would help alot to make "best score" nominations.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-2207978972228183112010-02-07T18:17:48.713-05:002010-02-07T18:17:48.713-05:00Really unfair nominees.
