Elfman nominated for Grammy

[Danny Burton]

Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture/TV
• Cold Mountain
• De-Lovely
• Garden State
• Kill Bill: Vol. 2
• Shrek 2

Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture/TV
• Angels in America (Thomas Newman)
• Big Fish (Danny Elfman)
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Jon Brion)
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (John Williams)
• The Return of the King (Howard Shore)

Best Song Written for a Motion Picture/TV
• “The Scarlet Tide” — Cold Mountain

ROTK will most likely win this too. Not because it was truly the best score of the year (that honor goes to Deplat’s Girl With a Pearl Earring), but because of its popularity. Meh.

[Mr. Dantz]

Yay, LOTR gets two more awards.

[Spider-Fan]

Heh, forgot about the Grammys and that Big Fish was still in the picture! Too bad it’s up against ROTK, but at least the Grammys don’t hate Danny like the Academy does.

Sweet, I’m going to the Grammys this year . . . Even better!

He deserves that Grammy.

I think the stiff competition will come from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, rather than RTOK.

IMHO, the former two were actually a part of the movie(s) and served their purpose as movie soundtracks. I thought RTOK was not that impressive and at times just felt like fillers between the screaming and sword-clashing.

My two-cents’ worth.

I think it’s nice to see not only Danny Elfman nominated, but also Jon Brion. Have you heard his soundtracks for “Punch Drunk Love”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “I Heart Huckabees”? They are wonderful and truly original.
