bigkg 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Apparently Jonny Greenwood's score wasn't eligible for an Oscar because the Academy deemed it "unoriginal" claiming he had recorded some of the music years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,768 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 No nomination for Best Original Score for There Will Be Blood, bah.Honestly, I don't think it was great as a standalone. Could you actually imagine buying the soundtrack and just listening to it around the house or trying to fall asleep? It's very Stanley Kubrickish, which means it kind of grinds into your soul. It was perfect for the movie, which one could say what the oscar is for, but I totally understand why it wasn't nominated. Link to post Share on other sites

Roo6339 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I might do the whole bold who I think will win and italic who I want to win...1.

Cinematography: "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," "Atonement," "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," "No Country for Old Men," "There Will Be Blood."I really really really hope Juno doesn't win anything. I didn't like it much at all. No Country For Old Men I think should sweep it, but I think There Will Be Blood will (I haven't seen it, but PTA is the man, so that's not a bad thing.) Atonement has a good chance for best picture and all that obviously, but I really want one of the other two to win. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,768 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 CP:I still can't believe that Klitz from the Girl Next Door was the preacher... man he did good. It's sad he didn't get nominated for actor. I guess he can always call Emile Hirsch, also from The Girl Next Door, who got snubbed for Into The Wild. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,238 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I havent seen TWBB yet, but if DDL doesnt win I'll kill someone.I love an informed opinion. Good work Movies I've seen are in red. Movies I haven't are in black.Juno You sir, are clearly addicted to the theatre.Then again, you and I are tied, I've only seen The Bourne Ultimatum. I have WANTED to watch most of those, if that counts, which I don't think it does. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Eddie Vedder's soundtrack to Into the Wild deserved recognition IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 69 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 For once I've actually seen good number of the nominated films. DDL has this puppy in the bag, and I think Cate Blanchett should as well. She is the fuggin shiznit in I'm Not There. BY THE WAY, if any of you have seen I'm Not There and have not seen Don't Look Back, you must. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I saw Sweeny Todd last night, it was interesting. I'm not sure Depp deserves a best actor nomination for it though. Link to post Share on other sites
Roo6339 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I saw Sweeny Todd last night, it was interesting. I'm not sure Depp deserves a best actor nomination for it though.I semi agree. I thought he was great and I'll be happy if he wins, but if anything should be nominated it's the direction. Burton has been snubbed so many times it's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites
myenemy 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Saw Atonement last night. I can see why it won the Globe. It really was an excellent overall film and is going to be tough competition for No Country. The only other nominee I saw, TWBB, really doesnt have a chance IMO, while it was a very good film, it was more about individual performance and does not stand up to the others. Id still like to see Juno and Michael Clayton. Any opinion on those vs. the others? Link to post Share on other sites
Don Giovanni 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 the beach scene with all the army people in atonement is amazing. its like a 8 minute continuous shot of all this stuff going on, its unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites
Don Giovanni 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 yea that scene is the best 5 minutes in film history. Link to post Share on other sites
