How are you voting twice, man? You already said you voted for Billy Boob Clayton or whatever that one's called. I know it's easy to stuff the ballots, but admitting?
LOL. Good vote. The second one.

I voted Atonement. I also have 3:10 to Yuma and that's in second running for me. I'll be happy if either of them win, though my affinity leans toward Atonement; it's got more going for it in every way.3:10 isn't Goldsmith, though I appreciate some of what Beltrami did. It doesn't immediately feel like a western to me, thought it works well w/ in the context of the film. I enjoyed it, but yeah - Dario, here's to hoping you take home the gold statue.

I do, however, think that Atonement will indefinitely win on the big night. The politics of Oscar tell me so.Oh, and Peter, when I voted for Michael Clayton, I filed my vote under the identity of a deceased person. VOTER FRAUD! DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

I went with ATONEMENT, but I would have just as happily voted for RATATOUILLE. 3:10 TO YUMA would be a close third.

I voted Atonement.However, since Atonement is the most logical win, I just have to assume the Oscar will go to "Michael Clayton" or something. Heaven forbid it go to the logical candidate.

I voted for 3:10 and thought Beltrami did fantastic. He deserves the Oscar and I am seeing more and more that he will be one of the next great composers.

Bad Jeron! Funny Sean!Speaking of Michael Crichton, word is that they're working on a sequel, Michael Crichton: Return of the Novelist, about the author's struggle with mediocrity. It's a terrible disease, and I'm glad Hollywood is ready to tackle the affliction that has affected it for years.

Yes, Michael, I agree: For a movie about Michael Crichton writing Jurassic Park, it was upsetting that he was only at a dinosaur museum for the opening 6 minutes of the movie. It was great at the end where he tells producer Kathleen Kennedy (played by Tilda Swinton) "Do I look like I'm negotiating!?" when she breaks the news to him that David Koepp has been hired to write the screenplay for his novel, especially after she tried to waste him with a car bomb in upstate NY (luckily, for Crichton, he had his original manuscript copied and printed into 50 large boxes!), before he proceeds out into the streets and into a cab and thinks he's Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday.

MORE MICHAEL CLAYTON FUN:
Anagrams of 'Michael Clayton':"Mythic Ole Canal", "Coachman Yet Ill", "Acclaim the Only", "All Toy Mechanic", "Conceal Thy Mail", "Halcyon Climate", "Tall Coy Machine", "All Icy Omen Chat" and "Thy Local Cinema" http://www.thefilmexperience.net/Awards/2007/picture.html (see Clayton trivia)AND A HAIKU IN HONOR OF MICHAEL CLAYTON:
Each stanza relates to a specific character:
quote:
Stripped naked in the boardroom,
a secret spilled.
Too many baguettes.Charred rental car
a wake-up call.
Symbolic horses whinny; run.The vice-grip of routine,
speeches practiced to perfection.
A silk blouse's pit stains.

Just like Brian Tyler, I think if they sign on to the right projects an get the opportunity they will blow us away. No more films like Tokyo Drift for Tyler and Beltrami needs to get away from those "Darker" films.

So since my name is Clayton, does that mean I should be getting some sort of job that deals with the law? Robert Clayton Dean (from Enemy of the State)... Michael Clayton (from Michael Crichton)...

Who will be or even begins to qualify as a "next great composer"? I don't think there's anything that offers composers a shot at this state of achievement anymore.If it did, though, yes, I would say Beltrami is on his way. He has, what, 40 more years of scoring films ahead of him, and has done some great stuff in just 10.

In all due respect Peter, Michael Giacchino was born to score the future of music.

Jeron is right. Beltrami isn't one of the next great composers--he's already a great composer. We obviously should be looking elsewhere in that regard. Who knows. Giacchino shows potential.

Is Giacchino going to show us a path to a New Enlightenment? Anyway, since he's scoring the music of the fuiture than he better use lasers in his music, because that's futuristic.
Clayton: Look into some kind of legal action you can pursue.
