AniNate Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Didn't see a thread for this yet. There's been a change for the 2012 awards as there will be a guaranteed five nominees.http://www.deadline.com/2012/08/motion-picture-academy-approves-new-music-rules-for-85th-awards/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 THANK GOODNESS. Having only two nominees last year made zero sense. I'd say 2011 was the only year where I had to cut out great songs from a top five, and besides that, everyone knew Man or Muppet was going to win.

CoolioD1 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That's cool, I guess. Though it seems like it's going to be a stretch to come up with five nominees in years to come.As for this year, hmmm, I know a new song is being written for Les Miserables by the guy who wrote the songs for the original musical. So I'll say that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I hope one song from Brave gets in. Would love to see the Avengers song get in. One can hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I almost can't believe how much I think I'd enjoy Adele winning this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I hope one of the Wreck-It Ralph songs makes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I almost can't believe how much I think I'd enjoy Adele winning this.I could see the songwriter's branch disqualifying it as there's like 5 bars in the song that uses a pre-existing Bond tune, and one of the really famous ones. :Les Miserables is probably winning this one. Suddenly's being written, and scored by the same people who wrote the original songs for the Musical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I hope they can find a way around this for some reason. I would LOVE to see Adele performing Skyfall and taking home the oscar.

forg Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If was only this year that they didn't had performances but they always had performances. I think they will bring back the performances next year especially if Adele and Mumford & Sons songs will be nominated since those two are big album sellers right now and could bring in the ratings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sugar Rush for Ralph Yeah that song was stuck in my head. (It would probably be "When will I see you Again" if it gets nominated) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Seth McFarlane has any vote, music will definitely be a big part of the show. I'm confident he'll do a singing monologue of some sort as well.

riczhang Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I hate this category.Does anyone not? I think I might actually prefer a 2 nominee category. Now that they have to nominated 5 we'll really end up with some shit nominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
