Author	Topic: Oscar Nominees for 2009

Camillu Standard Userer	Music (Original Score) * “Avatar” James Horner * “Fantastic Mr. Fox” Alexandre Desplat * “The Hurt Locker” Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders * “Sherlock Holmes” Hans Zimmer * “Up” Michael Giacchino Music (Original Song) * “Almost There” from “The Princess and the Frog” Music and Lyric by Randy Newman * “Down in New Orleans” from “The Princess and the Frog” Music and Lyric by Randy Newman * “Loin de Paname” from “Paris 36” Music by Reinhardt Wagner Lyric by Frank Thomas * “Take It All” from “Nine” Music and Lyric by Maury Yeston * “The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)” from “Crazy Heart” Music and Lyric by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett Must admit I didn't notice much score in Hurt Locker.... will have to see it again. I'd say 60% UP, 40% Avatar at this point.

gkgyver Standard Userer	Depends on who will win Best Picture [irony off] Maybe Desplat has a realistic chance now that he is doing Deathly Hallows.

Widescreen Standard Userer	The fact that Star Trek wasn't nominated in this category is a tiny bit disappointing but since Giacchino got recognized for Up, it isn't so bad. I have a feeling this one's going to Zimmer, though. The level of creativity on Sherlock Holmes beats almost everything I heard last year. [Message edited by Widescreen on 02-02-2010]

gkgyver Standard Userer	Why not something original like Up?

sean Standard Userer	Zimmer wrote the best score, he should get it. Beltrami's nomination probably has more to do with the film than the actual music, unfortunately; fantastic film, and the score worked well but it was nothing close to the likes of Sherlock Holmes or Star Trek.

gkgyver Standard Userer	Hey sean, I like Sherlock Holmes quite a bit I don't know about "best", but certainly "most original". I'd rather have Giacchino make it, but Zimmer wouldn't be undeserved. [Message edited by gkgyver on 02-03-2010]

sean Standard Userer	I'm glad you like it, it's a great score! I'd rather see Giacchino win for Star Trek rather than Up, which did nothing for me; so, I think he should win for the next Star Trek film, haha! Sherlock Holmes is my favourite score from last year, so that's why I think it should win. Desplat's New Moon was far better than Fantastic Mr. Fox and anything else he did last year ... And well, Avatar is "nice," but it's not a winner.

Camillu Standard Userer	I think that it's safe to say, bias aside, that the Best Original Score segment was the highlight of this year's show (although the eventual award, like all the others, was predictable).

Crono Standard Userer	Anyone else notice that "Up" had the best preformed part of the presentation And Disney, can "Up" finally get a physical release now that it won best score? --Brian NP: The Pacific [Message edited by Crono on 03-09-2010]

Full_Circle Non-Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by Crono: And Disney, can "Up" finally get a physical release now that it won best score? I second this. I think its terrible form on Disneys part not to release a CD of its now Oscar winning score.
