ChD Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Theory of Everything's score is also pretty darn good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah, If I had to guess right now I'd say Gone Girl, The Imitation Game, Interstellar, The Theory Of Everything, Unbroken. Thinking Desplat will win for one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepper83 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Theory of Everything's score is soo beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 After seeing The Theory of Everything it has to get nominated, my favorite soundtrack of the year, and it plays into the movie so well. I haven't been able to stop listening to it, no soundtrack this year has done that to me, it is rich, complex, and yet still elegant and simple. Just listen to this track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I think it's a tiny bit cloying myself, but it's exactly the sort of score the academy goes for, so i don't think you have to worry about it not getting nominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There haven't been that many impressive soundtracks this year. I think to win the soundtrack has to be listenable to on its own while also serving the movie and highlighting the moments within it (I'll give an exception to Birdman because the improv drums was a really cool effect). Despite liking Interstellar's soundtrack the beginning is fairly monotonous and it actually can be a problem within the movie because it steals attention away from what's on screen with its volume (but that's more of a sound mixing problem). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I think one of the Desplats will win this year. I posted a link to a couple of Unbroken tracks on the last page and that sounds like the type of score where, if the film is a serious contender, he could finally pick up the win he's been chasing the last few years. I haven't heard his Imitation Game score but it's been singled out for praise in some reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Haven't heard any scores so far this year that have wowed me. A little disappointed in the last two years musically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 LOVED The Theory of Everything's score. I was convinced it was Korzeniowski while I was watching. Should definitely be nominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Current: Fury Gone Girl Interstellar The Theory of Everything Unbroken Alt: Selma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalderic Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The Theory of Everything has my vote, but I could easily see Desplat taking it this year since he has multiple solid scores out there just dangling in front of the faces of the voters. But then again, if he does get the nomination for multiple films, we could see a split in voters cause an underdog to take just because the voters couldnt decide on a specific one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Damn, Desplat really brought it with The Imitation Game. Let's get him that Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Could Desplat pull a triple nom for TIG, Unbroken, and Budapest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 If Desplat has more than one nomination, he will surely loose, though it deserves to win this year. Awesome year for him, with four notable scores Anyways, I think Theory of everything is the frontrunner right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 My current Oscar predictions. I've bolded the locked nominees Johansson - Theory of everything Desplat - Imitation Game Desplat - Budapest Hotel Newton Howard - Maleficent (nice themes and epic score os the bunch. They also love James. And so do I) Newman - The Judge (they like Newman) Alternates: Desplat - Unbroken (it will be this or GBH) Price - Fury (but I've found it unmemorable) Ross & Reznor - Gone girl (a step above TSN) Zimmer - Interstellar (because it's Zimmer) Beltrami - Homesman (nice theme, solid score) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I guess I wouldn't be too annoyed at a Reznor/Ross nomination, as the score was one of the best parts of Gone Girl. Better than their other work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalderic Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am a HUGE howard fan. easily my favorite film score composer currently writing, however, I highly doubt he gets a nom for maleficent. He has never been nominated for one of his big action scores, despite them being some of his best works. They love classy Howard, not rambunctious Howard. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Right, at this point, I think we can safely assume Zimmer is getting nominated. Also, Desplat might get in but if he gets 2 nomination it's pretty bad, not to mention if he gets 3 as the votes will probably be split.

CoolioD1 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 None of the three desplat scores up for oscar contention are even the best desplat score of the year. so whatever. I think he'll be nominated for Imitation and Budapest. If he wins it'll be for the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
