just checked the best score noms. fucking AVATAR? james horner killed it in aliens, but the avatar score took insulting tribal bongo "booga-booga" music to a new low. for as 'innovative' and 'otherwordly' as the rest of the film was, the score had an opportunity to really go new places, but didn't. at all.

the 'up' score got nominated, which is good. that was pretty spectacular, actually.

haven't seen 'sherlock holmes' yet, but it's fucking zimmer. i can guess it's bombastic orchestral stuff with some 'edgy' electric guitar thrown in along with an overuse of stylus RMX.

what is it with music? the coraline score was amazing. cool instrumentation, amazing themes, a made-up language... never heard anything quite like it.

i guess these organisations are more apt to reward "very traditional, but with SLIGHT changes" than "truly different and great".

this is where i get admittedly pedestrian. i liked the avatar score. i think a good score should go relatively unnoticed, which was the case with avatar for me. it just aided to how i reacted emotionally to each scene. but i totally agree, there was nothing innovative about it. i was just pleased that there werent jock jams in the trailer or in the movie. they should get an oscar just for not having nickelback in their action blockbuster. so i think you pretty much sum it up with your last sentence.

for avatar, i really do think cameron should get best director, for the way the 3d was presented alone. despite pretty shit writing and for the most part marginal acting (the lead male was terrible. i still cant figure out if he was supposed to be australian or american in the movie), i have never been so immersed in a film. at the very least they should sweep all the technical categories.

Fuck avatar, I hope Inglourious Basterds gets as many as it can.

Fred McGriff · February 2, 2010

solid argument

**takeshi** · February 2, 2010

Nice to see 'A Serious Man' get a nomination.

cameron's got best director, that's a shoo-in, but i hope inglorious basterds gets best picture. my personal favorite of 09

**chenGOD** · February 3, 2010

Shouldn't Avatar be nominated for "Best Animated Picture" as well?

Q27 · February 3, 2010

Inglorious Basterds should win best picture imo. I am surprised over District 9, as well as Up.

Up vs. Coraline... I'd say Up.

District 9 for visual effects.

Yaa.

while I agree that the lack of Nickleback is always greatly appreciated, in my opinion the score was unnoticeable, it boomed and roared with really boring melodies when I just wanted to enjoy the environment. I would have liked Avatar a lot more if it didn't have a score at all.
