As we all know, 1998 was the year that Danny was nominated for two Oscars for Good Will Hunting and Men in Black.
I was just wondering, did Danny attend the Oscar ceremony? If so, are there any pictures of him there?
That must have been before he lost all faith in the academy’s ability to choose well. I always loved his quote along the lines of, “If there was an Academy Award for Best Danny Elfman Score, I wouldn’t win.”
This year’s Oscar nominations for score are Finding Neverland, Harry Potter, Lemony Snicket (quite surprising), DEBNEY’S Passion of the Christ, and a true surprise with JNH’s The Village. Spider-Man 2 did at least get 3 nominations, 2 in sound and 1 in effects, so let’s root for that one.
i agree dantz, great score for village, even though it was a dissapointing movie
just like in signs, great work by howardHe was there and famously was over Jim Cameron’s shoulder… So he got lots of camera time.
Here’s a sidenote: the Academy recently amended it’s rules for original scores. They must now be a significant portion of the film’s musical content and cannot be diluted by songs. Had this rule been in place in ’98, THE FULL MONTY would have been uneligible and Elfman’s MEN IN BLACK probably would have won the “Best Original Comedy Score”. A category that has sadly been dropped.

Are there strict guidelines to that? Like for instance, was the presence of that song in Spider-Man 2 what disqualified it from the running?
“He was there and famously was over Jim Cameron’s shoulder… So he got lots of camera time.”
I MUST see that!!
Anyone with the show taped willing to post screencaps? Please do so.
