CoolioD1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Maybe nobody told them. I don't mind though, since I think awarding TSN was the smartest thing this category has done in years.Anyway, throwing out some predictions.Adventures of TintinThe ArtistHugoTinker, Tailor, Soldier, SpyWar Horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 No, the smartest thing would've been to give it to John Powell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I obviously disagree, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) It's just I haven't heard anyone say anything negative about that score. I think it's only because it was for an animated kids film that it gets the shaft. Edited November 17, 2011 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I don't think so Disney have had a bunch of nominations/wins in this category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah, but that's Disney. They have a reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Seriously, what does make Reznor's score better? There are some good tracks, I guess, but to me some of the music felt out of place with the scene it was in.

CoolioD1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I disagree. I thought the music fit like a glove. Powell's music did as well but Reznor's was far more effective to me. It's just a matter of opinion obviously. Though if I had my way Daft Punk would've won. bu Reznor/Ross's score is def my second fav of last year.

AniNate Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well, after my mom asked "What's with the horror music?" as I was watching the opening credits, I doubt I'm ever going to be convinced.Anyway, my predicts:The Adventures of TintinThe ArtistHugoThe Iron LadyWar Horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I also liked that fact that Rezonr winning pissed quite a few people off. i would happily welcome another win for them with Dragon Tattoo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Dragon Tattoo should at least be a little more appropriate for Reznor's genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Probably. But part of the reason why the TSN score works so well for me is that it's totally not what you'd expect for the type of film that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I thought TSN's "score" was the worst thing about it. Filmtracks gave it a scathing review, and it was a great read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I thought TSN's "score" was the worst thing about it. Filmtracks gave it a scathing review, and it was a great read.They are very hit and miss. They can nail some reviews, but fail at others.For instance, giving AWE a 1/5 when it had one of the most beautiful scores of 2007? Giving OoTP a 3 when it deserved a 1?

Other than that, I generally agree with their reviews.Yeah I noticed they have a huge Zimmer hate and blame him for their perception of soundtracks going downhill this past decade. Even with Sherlock Holmes, which they liked a lot, their compliments were laced with begrudging venom.After listening through War Horse on youtube, I think there's no way it can lose. It's without a doubt for me Williams' best work since 1993. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I doubt it will get nominated, but I loved the score from Thor, it felt grand and epic to me. And had a very catchy heroic tune that keeps getting stuck in my head. RotPotA is another one that I loved but will likely not get a nom. But the academy will he stupid if they don't nominate DHII, that score was sublime, affecting, epic and a grand cresendo to a series that has had some ups and downs with its scoring.

stripe Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 War Horse / The Artist / The Help / Hugo / TintinI'm not convinced yet about a Desplat snub. This has been a very good year for him. And they love him. My big concern is he has too many films to route for, hurting his chances. HP8, Extremely loud, Tree of life...If Hugo keeps getting praise from critics, I can see the film getting attention in many categories. They really love Williams (obviously, he's the man). They also love Thomas Newman (10 noms already, and The Help is an almost sure thing in BP). And The Artist score is unique and a key for the success of this silent film.
