    OK so Danny didn’t win tonight (AR Rahman did), but there was a nice 2 Danny second reaction shot to Rahman’s second win. He was there with Bridget. Oh well! We’re used to this around here.

    Given that Zack Efron was presenting the award, I was rooting for Elfman to get it some other time.

    I do not know, I would have loved for Danny to perform a song like Rahman did…. Bringing back Oingo Boingo, baby! Oh wait, I was not alive for Oingo Boingo….

    Was the reaction shot a look of relief? Is there footage of it anywhere?

    You weren’t alive in 1995?

    I love Elfman, obviously, but AR Rahman deserved the award.

    There was an Elfman reaction shot (top right corner in the split screen), and he looked quite happy for Rahman.

    He did. Then, during the song performances, he looked like he wanted to bolt.

    Yeah, I saw that… After the song, there was a big shot of him and you could see him applaude very seriously… He really seemed disappointed… They kind of play with him, like they do with Brad Pitt. The nominations come, but nothing really happens… It muss be depressing… I really thought this was the one, and he seemed like he believed in it too, for once… I was really susprised to see him there…!

    Hmm? I thought he looked happy for Rahman? In interviews, Danny says he doesn’t even care about getting oscars. He didn’t even go to the ceremonies when he was nominated for Big Fish.

    Don’t feel left out. I never saw them in concert, either. That’s what the “reunion” shows are for. :)

    A guy of Elfman’s stature probably doesn’t give a shit about the Oscars. It’s insignificant in comparison to what he’s already accomplished! He probably just went as an excuse to get out of the house. The guy probably doesn’t get out much when he’s working constantly!

    Guys, listen to the Elfman interviews. Danny completely debunks your thoughts on the matter. If you’re a big enough fan to post on a Danny Elfman message board, you should be listening to these great interviews.

    Listen to Part two:

    When Danny was asked about getting an oscar, he says, “I don’t give a fuck.” Also, he hates going to these big shows!

    PS: I love you all. :)

    #63492

    I don’t think Danny went for Big Fish cause he was the only nominee. In the case of Good Will Hunting, Men in Black, and Milk he went in support of the movie since it was nominated for several awards including Best Picture.

    Exactly! I remember him stating that, but couldn’t remember in which interview.

    Well.. I liked the Oscars this year.. but then again I like Broadway shows…It was a little Broadway-ish … and I’m sure Elfman got a good look at his supposed star of his Houdini show… which I hope does well and actually hits Broadway theatres.

    Oh, I am so excited for that. I hope it fares better than “Little Demons”…..
