Thanks... I kinda brushed over this when it was discussed earlier in the thread.Jibril said:
The first half of the score is a bit bleh, yeah, but he goes apeshit in the second half. The entire climax and finale sequence is golden era Williams. (EDIT: PS, the OST is a terrible, terrible rendition of what's heard in-film.)GCX said:
His orchestrator Conrad Pope has said on his Facebook that Tintin score is going to be a "classic" with a famous main theme like Harry Potter, etc.

Munich was unreal imo. Fucking love the score for Munich.
Prisoner of Azkaban also has an AMAZING soundtrack:Scullibundo said:

You know that something is utterly wrong with the movie industry when two years in a row mediocre movies get oscars handed out like candy.
For the record, I guess Sean Penn's weird little rant had to do with him not thanking his wife last year when he won. Instead he made a speech about gay rights. Some people were upset I guess (not her because they spoke about it ahead of time) but I'm not sure that is entirely what he was going on about... but I think he mentioned it.
I doubt many will care about your implied cool.
Nope. Thats why there is only 100 pages.darkwings said:

The award only goes to films that were released this year. Maybe thats why you are confused.Steppenwolf said:

No shit sherlock.
What i'm saying is that the quality of movies released in a year is god awful when mediocre movies can win so many awards. (personaly i haven't seen a single movie from 2009 that i rated higher then 8/10)
It's nothing new that a mediocre movie wins the oscar for best movie. Happend in the past, will happen again. New is that such movies break records for the number of oscars they receive like last years Slumdog.

I don't know if people care much about the Oscars but I CAN tell you that not many people care about people caring about the Oscars. So why so over-concerned?darkwings said:

Just went through this whole thread, the "lol I pleasantly await the meltdowns when Avatar wins everything" comments are looking rather ironic once you reach around page 40.
My thoughts:
My thoughts:
- Avatar didn't deserve to win BP. I'm happy it didn't. I haven't seen The Hurt Locker either, so I'm not sure if it winning over Avatar was a good thing, although chances are big it indeed was the better movie.
- I'd like to have seen a bit more acknowledgments for Star Trek, District 9 and Inglorious Basterds. Both Star Trek and D9 were much more "entertaining" for me than Avatar btw, the metric a lot of people use to judge Avatar as the best picture of the year. And Inglorious Basterds had me sitting on the edge of my seat and made me almost physically nauseous with all the tension in the scenes with Waltz and Melanie. I don't know what Oscar it deserves for that specifically, but it goddamn deserves one!
- Up winning everything it was nominated in except for PB makes me happy. I hope one day Pixar is able to make a movie that breaks the barrier for animated movies to win BP.
- I haven't seen even half of the movies that are nominated this year, so I'm not going to say which movie should have won this or that Oscar though. Just trying to rank the movies that I did see.

well I guess you cannot have 9 out of 10 or 10 out of 10 movies every year eh bub? So why wont you save us some time and tell us which 8/10 movie this year you thought was the "highest" rated 8/10 and should have won a best picture Oscar this year?

I'd agree...there are maybe 2 or 3 really great scenes with a lot of simply good filler. It's still an incredible movie, but I think particularly some of the second half events of the story dropped it a few points from being great.

That's what annoys me about the awards - someone always has to 'beat' someone. Same with the 'underdog' bullshit..
Avatar was never going to win anything other than the special effects stuff because the Oscars just don't cater for that sort of stuff. Just look at the kind of stuff Aliens and T2 was against, or even Star Trek this year. It won best sound editing or something? What a kick in the face that must've been.

That's what happens except for Picture I think. Hurt Locker had already won the guild award so it was close to a lock for this category although Up In the Air lost in it's category.
Overall, I think this was a pretty good show.
- It did not need two hosts, but it seemed like the hosting gig was less important this time around and maybe that was their intent.
- I did not understand what Sean Penn was saying
- I loved the dance routine for the music scores except they didn't seem to match up that well (except for Hurt Locker I think).
- My wife was watching Tucci's performance and she was struck with how disturbing it was & thought he was going to win just off the clips. Was he that good in the movie considering he had no apparent chance to win?
- Leading up to and including last night, they were overpraising the Precious star, to the point of being patronizing. "You're gorgeous, beautiful, stunning!!!" Do they think she has a self-wsteem problem?
- Cameron never seemed upset to me and seemed resigned to the fact this was Hurt Locker's night and he appeared happy for his ex.
- The screenwriter for Hurt Locker kept saying something along the lines of making an uncompromising film about an unpopular war, but I wasn't quite sure what he meant.
- I din't care for Monique's speech but I was grateful it was an abbreviated version of Halle's. Disagreed about the politics part.
