CoolioD1 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 btw "Ancora Qui" is apparently the original song from Django that's written by Ennio mutherfuckin' Morricone. So I hope that gets in..... despite me not having heard it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forg Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) That Sambola song on the shortlist got my attention and checked it out! Low shot of being nominated but if it got a nomination, it would like a fun production number.Anyway my predictions:Skyfall (Skyfall)Learn Me Right (Brave)Strange Love (Frankenweenie)Everybody Needs a Friend (Ted)Suddenly (Les Miserables)My wishlist:This Gift (Odd Life of Timothy Green)Breathe of Life (Snow White and The Huntsman)Abraham's Daughter (Hunger Games) Edited December 12, 2012 by forg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Nice predicts forg. I hate this category. Glad Skyfall is eligible so it can win.

I have Dolly Parton's song of Joyful Noise instead of Brave. Keith Urban's song for Act of Valor also has a chance at a nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If they nominate Adele and Mumford and Sons they would be morons for not trying to get them to perform. Those are arguably the two biggest names in music right now and they could boost ratings. Plus, it would be a fantastic show as both are incredible live.

Blankments Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah, I loved Life of Pi, but I wasn't aware that was a song.... Suddenly was okay, but Skyfall was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Before My Time was the shocker nominee but I checked it out on YouTube and it was nice and I had no idea it was performed by Scarlett Johansson.The Oscars should definitely have the songs performed this year we have Adele, Hugh Jackman, Norah Jones and Scarlett Johanson. Pi's Lullaby does not have a star performer but still it was a box office hit so people are familiar with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Does this count as an Oscar nomination for Scarlett Johansson? It'd be hilarious if this were her first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Adele really needs to win this. If someone else wins, the Academy will prove itself to be very shitty at recognizing quality. Edited January 15, 2013 by ChD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I decided to listen all of the nominated songs Before My Time from Chasing Ice- Ehh.. This is a decent enough track, but it is not memorable. Not sure if Scarlett Johansson is a very good singer, either. Skyfall from Skyfall- Love this song. Not as good as You Know My Name, but I still get goosebumps. Everybody Needs a Best Friend from Ted- I like this a lot, it has a super-neat retro thing going on. I bet this song would have been a smash hit in the 50's. Pi's Lullaby from Life of Pi- This song makes me sleepy, but in the nicest way possible. Very relaxing and beautiful. Suddenly from Les Miserables- I dont have much to say about this, since I dont know the context. I guess its alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah Suddenly as a standalone is not memorable but in the context of the film, it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalderic Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 My vote goes to Skyfall. such a perfect song... and Im not even a big Adele fan. She just nailed it on this one!Pi's Lullaby is good, but not great.And while i totally enjoyed the addition of Suddenly to Les Mis, it wasnt needed...
