Indeed, many people are unhappy, but remember, a potentially tricky film to Oscar voters like Milk could have been done injustices to as well. All in all, we have plenty to be puzzled or even mad about, but it can always be worse...

Not be ramble on and on, but the main thing that gets my goat is Springsteen's song not getting a nod, most likely due to it playing over the end credits...but WALL-E's song was the same, so I'm confused...but like I said, it could always be worse...
ReplyDeleteso was Lose Yourself and that won the Oscar
ReplyDeleteI was really nervous Milk was going to be forgotten, but luckily it tied for third in the most nominations with eight. Penn Brolin were rewarded. Music, Costume, and Editing as well.
ReplyDeleteum... 13 noms for benjamin button? it could be worse only if cate blanchett was nominated in lead actress. that film was seriously overrated, and very average and WAY TOO LONG. if it wins the oscar i'm going to write off the AMPAs forever. Go milk!
ReplyDeleteHaving not seen it yet, I'm not sure when Bruce's song starts after the credits - it was my belief that a song was still able to be nominated if it was the first song to begin after the beginning of the credits - like many songs nominated for films which appear at the end, such as My Heart Will Go On, Into The West (both won), May It Be, and most of the Disney songs that won for a period of time in their animated films. Has anyone given a reason why there are only three noms in this category?
ReplyDeleteThe Academy's rule on song states "An original song consists of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the motion picture. There must be a clearly audible, intelligible, substantive rendition (not necessarily visually presented) of both lyric and melody, used in the body of the motion picture or as the first music cue in the end credits."
ReplyDeleteI would be interested to know what "first music cue" means and how they define this - some songs I know of and love, particularly May it Be and Into The West, come after a brief piece of music in the credits that does not appear on the soundtrack - is what they submit to the Academy different to what is on the soundtrack? Does that brief music interlude represent part of the song? And if it does, how come Howard Shore was not nominated alongside Enya for original song when the music prior to the start of the song is his theme?
