I was just having this discussion at another message board. This year SO FAR has been a slow one for good movie scores. So, I’m thinking that if Elfman does a great job on Milk he is very likely to get his 4th Oscar nomination.
Well, I guess if the movie is prestigious enough, the score will get an Oscar nod regardless of the quality of the score.
I was once annoyed that Danny had never gotten an Oscar, but frankly, I think Danny honesty doesn’t care about getting an award from an organization who has dumped on him over the years.
Just because a movie gets a Best Picture nod doesn’t mean the score will be nominated as well. In fact, two of Danny’s Oscar nods (Men in Black and Big Fish) were for movies that didn’t really get that many nominations. However, that being said, it CAN help. That would explain the nomination for the lackluster Good Will Hunting.
No, but historically, scores that are attached to prestige films, will often get an Oscar nod. Movies like Atonement, 3:10 to Yuma, so on and so forth.
Goodwill Hunting was a great score and film, by the way.
