I expected Hurt Locker to sweep, but man if that isn't some bullshit that it won screenplay and the sound awards. That is some major bullshit. Bigelow didn't deserve to be nominated let alone win best director, but such is the politics of the thing. Really feeling it for Tarantino, the man just can. not. catch. a. fucking. break.
Was glad to see Giacchino pick up his award. Steve Martin was good, Alec Baldwin was terribad.

The cultural landscape isnt really the same though.professor_t said:
Even with toys. I mean, I remember Lucas making a special midnight release for Phantom Menace toys before teh movie came out, and all those toys ended up shelf warming. And that type of gimmick hit song just doesnt happen in america anymore (maybe in europe)
As far as lexicon invading the language, Ive certainly seen it happen with Avatar far more than I have with other movies of recent years. Though certainly not on the level of Star Wars.
It may not reach the same cultural fervor, but I have no doubt it will get closer to it, than most other movies of the past decade, especially when future films are made.

I thought the sound was pretty good. Did people think it was bad or something? Nothing stood out to me on the sound front this year. I thought Avatar's sound certsinly didn't match its ambitious visuals.Scullibundo said:
Did everyone here read the screenplays or something?
Screenplay, as I said was obvious. Most of the people voting aren't writers unless I'm mistaken

The sound mixing was good. But AVATAR's sound blew it out of the water and that isn't bias talking.
I agree. I don't think thats what they do though. Most directors, acotrs and such look down on dialogue heavy writing. Its seen as lazy from what I see.Jibril said:
I recently wrote a short film and made it my goal to allow any info that can be explained naturally with acting and or visual cues unspoken.
The actors/director seem really pleased.
Not very fun to write though :/
How can anyone even make an assertion like this?Scullibundo said:
I've DONE a little sound design and I can't make this assertion. They don't exist in the same space. Again, I don't see a clear winner here.

At the end of the Oscars telecast a message came up that said every member of the academy is allowed to vote for best picture. For all other categories votes are taken from members that belong to that category.

True, but that's only because Williams has only done one film score since 2005 ;-)GCX said:
Though that film score is in my opinion even more masterful than Up, Star Trek or Lost. You can hear where Giacchino gets Jacob's Theme ;-)

WARNING: I Am about to sound very arrogant and smarmy with my following sentences, but I think I have to say what I have to say...So excuse my bluntness.
For those of you who are still holding your limp dicks in your hand and crying about why Avatar didn't win Best Picture at the Oscars tonight, I have few things to say to you. please watch more movies, and by movies I mean dramas, they don't have to be "movies" per se, just watch film that's based more on intimate human emotions, something that focuses more on human psychology, behavior and character development.
Unfortunately there isn't many great dramas in the theater these days that explore the human drama, but the good news is there's more quality work on the smaller screen than there is on the silver screen these days. Watch the entire series of Sopranos, Battlestar Gallactica, Band of Bros. The Wire and Mad Men if you haven't already.
Those series' along with SOME good movies, are probably the best Human drama that has been available in form of film entertainment in the past decade as far a I am concerned.
Again to save myself from sounding more of a douche that likes to hear himself talk, these are all just my opinion, but I also realize people spend 8-10 bucks of their money and two hour of their time to watch something that will merely entertain them without giving them much to talk about afterward. In other words, escapism. Not every movie audience watches movies for exact same purpose.
Now Avatar is not the best example of a film that's made for the most casual film goer, because it is not a bad movie, it's not a disposable movie, in fact it's a damn good movie, and sure has a lot to say about us as human species living and consuming on this planet, it's got some social commentaries; but any of the deep meaning and emotions it's trying to convey is lost in it's priority, which is to be the best visual roller coaster ride of a movie at the theater.
So in conclusion I am happy to see that Hollywood and the Academy sees the medium of motion picture more than just an entertaining medium, it is of course a lot more than that, and I respect them for making a good decision by awarding the Oscar to a dramatically more superior movie.
ends smarmy rant here.

Ah, I see.MiamiWesker said:
Interesting. I assumed wrong!
I'd imagine they must subscribe to the same ideas.
I think the writing in IB was really good (in the past I've felt some of his stuff was over written and too many characters had the same voice, but not here) but if asked to vote, I don't think there would be a clear winner.
Everything was good, and there was probably a lot of non-dialogue stuff we don't consider. I tend to associate good writing with good dialogue (I'm no writer by trade) but maybe that not how real screenwriters think. I dunno.
I tend to assume there is always a reason beyond conspiracy bullshit.

It's excellent, indeed (I guess I was knowingly a bit simplistic with my comparison), however, it's probably fair to say that the KOTCS and Ratatouille scores are almost impossible to compare, whereas the others I listed are a bit more similar in their symphonic styles.GCX said:

Dinner Rush has always been my favourite track of the Ratatouille score. The intro and the momentum that builds after the 3minute mark is just awesome.
