Comments on: Academy Disqualifies Scores For ‘Black Swan,’ ‘True Grit’ and Others From Oscar Consideration https://staging2.theplaylist.net/academy-disqualifies-scores-for-black-swan-true-grit-and-others-from-oscar-consideration-20101221/ Mon, 16 Nov 2020 02:00:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Scott https://staging2.theplaylist.net/academy-disqualifies-scores-for-black-swan-true-grit-and-others-from-oscar-consideration-20101221/#comment-107176 Fri, 13 May 2016 15:24:47 +0000 http://www.indiewire.com/2010/more/uncategorized/academy-disqualifies-scores-for-black-swan-true-grit-and-others-from-oscar-consideration-121227/#comment-107176 Ditto, Joie: The TRON score clearly stood out of this year\’s bleak offerings (background elevator music isn\’t a score). It perfectly utilizes orchestral and electronic elements to heighten the immersive experience of that particular digital world. It would be a shame for the Academy to ignore Daft Punk out of insular nepotism, ie Golden Globes\’ WTF omission. Here\’s actual 100% music written for the film.

John Williams\’ won his first Oscar for adapting/arranging music for \”Fiddler on the Roof\”. Seems apt for these types of situations, but they phased that award out in the 80\’s.

It is worrisome though when you see the cover of Black Swan and it says \”Original Score by Clint Mansell\”, with no MENTION of Tchaikovsky. Should read Score Adaptation by…

Despite that, it\’s still the best use of classical music in a film since Kubrick, and would easily win the Adaptation Oscar, if they still had it.

It was loosely connected with Edith Piaf\’s song \”Non, je ne regrette rien\” which is prominently displayed in the movie and infiltrated into the orchestral score.

I looked up who did it and saw it was Michael Brook, who did Into the Wild a couple years ago, which I also liked. Maybe not substantial enough to win an Oscar, but works well in the movie.

A few songs were featured also in the Nine Inch Nails album \”Ghosts I-IV.\” If they give an award to Trent, they should go back and give one To Johnny Greenwood\’s excellent score.

Enough said.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (completely new)

and

BEST SOUNDTRACK (can contain cover versions or previously published music alongside new compositions)

Shame about Black Swan and True Grit.

The work is called Best ORIGINAL Score. How would people feel if the Best Original Scripts were based on books?
