I doubt anyone will ever really catch up by reading these notes, so we can pretty much say whatever we want.

I would fight against it, and I would not be happy. And I mean that honestly. I hate that stuff. I know it's the game and I know everyone has to play, but there's a point at which it becomes nothing but crass, and Dreamworks and Paramount passed that point before the film ever opened and it really did backfire and hurt them. People DISCOVERED Chicago - it was NOT shoved down people's throats.

Well, I guess the there must have been a LOT more promotion for the film on the West Coast then there was here in NYC (East Coast).

Santaolallo wins for the second year in a row....first time that's been done in this category since Franz Waxman did it in 1950 ("Sunset Boulevard") and 1951 ("A Place in the Sun").

I do not like Phillip Glass' music..... no I do not like it one bit.

Okay, for the second year they gave Best Score to the Worst Score. I cannot believe it. You had one GREAT score up (the Desplat) and one fine score (the Thomas Newman) and they give it to someone who strums a friggin' guitar for two hours - the Academy is HOPELESS, STUPID, and completely at sea in terms of the Best Score award. End of rant.

Interesting choice...

I like the score for "Babel".. but was afraid it might have been considered too minimal - at least in terms of the duration of the musical material. Lots of "silence" in that movie - which was great.

I got that wrong.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #1451 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:20:01 PM »

I was hoping for Thomas Newman. I truly think his work was the best of the nominees....but the film wasn't successful.

bk · « **Reply #1452 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:20:50 PM »

That, for me, is the worst award of the evening.

Not only that, but most of what you hear isn't original score...it's work by others.

There's a bit of controversy over how it even got nominated as it doesnt' seem to have met the criteria the music branch requires for percentage of score being substantially original.

But...exceptions prevail every year.

Sadly, that seems to be the norm for Oscar.

I'm thinking Little Miss Sunshine could be the upset.
