2013 Oscar Nominations

[DiFabio]

Anyway I have the Rises score on daily, amazing score, shame it didn't get recognized. The chant is phenomenal.

What, it's true? The chant is composed of millions of enthusiastic people just like this,

Unless Zimmer was lying and used his own recordings.

 

[Njits]

That was only done in the trailers, the actual chant in the OST was done by people in a sound recording studio.

"I'm shining the bat-signal up into the sky to call you all! We need to hear your voices! Now and Loud! We are creating the sound of a worldwide chant. Everyone come and be part of it. It's easy:There is no such thing as out-of-tune, no timing we can't fix later. If you mumble, growl, scream or whisper, it's all good. Make it yours. If you only get halfway through, no problem! Do it alone, bring your friends, but do it with energy and commitment.Let your voice be heard and be a part of our adventure! So we need every one of you out there to join. By signing up and recording your voice, you could be a part of "The Dark Knight Rises".




Says nothing about a trailer. Even watched the making of and he states he used other people's voices after his friends weren't enough. Could be wrong though.





Anyway, my favorite song and theme this year was definitely The Hobbit/Misty Mountains, all three of them.

Stop trying to earn street cred by liking good stuff Difabio.

That misty mountains theme is great! Back to the chant, I watched the "The Chant" featurette on the blu-ray. Which is like 15 minutes dedicated to the creation of the score and the chant in particular. The Chant you hear in the movie is all done in recording booths. That thing you posted was more of an experiment that was not going to be used in the actual score.

 

[CelticPredator]

Song of the Lonely Mountain should've been picked. Love that song.

Why song of the lonely mountain wasn't nommed is baffling.

 

[EnShinNoi]

Why song of the lonely mountain wasn't nommed is baffling.

Why not a single song from Django Unchained got nominated is more baffling.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Whether or not you liked the film, you can't deny the greatness of the score.

John Hawkes not getting a best actor nod for the Sessions is the biggest snub of the season.

 

[CelticPredator]

He deserves it for the last episode of Eastbound and Down at the very least/

I think it's funny reading some of these posts from the Nolan fans after TDKR got blanked...now the system is broken apparently

How can the best film of all time not win every category. It should also win short fim, animation, foreign, and documentary.

 

[Njits]

I think 'Rises' does not deserve a BP, but it sure as hell did deserve a cinematography and special effects nom. I mean, Snow White and the Huntsman? Really?

That being said I predict Argo wins best picture and Joaquin Phoenix, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams win for The Master.

 

[CelticPredator]

Why not a single song from Django Unchained got nominated is more baffling.

Because outside of two, none of them were original.

Who Did That To You could've been nominated. Great tune. Made just for Django.

Didn't care much for 100 Black Coffins. Just not a rap fan.

 

[transhi100]

Is Silver Linings Playbook really this good to get this many nods? I didn't see it because it looked like a typical Bradley Cooper love story.

Oh and of course no Batman. I don't care how much you fanboys love it, if you actually judge it fairly and technically, it's a disjointed, poorly written joke.

Silver Linings Playbook to me is the movie of the year and I've seen most of the nominated films. Jennifer Lawrence should win best actress.

Well much as I was underwhelmed by TDKR myself, don't we all have this complaint about the academy pretty much every year? I don't think its just TDKR fans.

 

[CriterionCollector]

The academy if ever rarely nominates superhero comic book movies for best picture. Comedies typically don't get nominated either.

 

[The Ween]

I remember when the nominated films did big time boxoffice, but not so much anymore.
