Well Corpse Bride didnt win, they call themselves the academy of Arts yet the ignore and/or overlook Tim Burton’s Artistic aproach to film.

March 6, 2006 at 1:52 am #56565Spider-FanParticipantIs the music that plays during the acceptance speeches pissing anyone else off? Anyway, at least Danny’s voice was heard by the whole crowd.
March 6, 2006 at 2:48 am #56566Mr. DantzParticipantHmmm. What’s this music you speak of?
March 6, 2006 at 2:51 am #56567Spider-FanParticipantSorry, double-posted. Please delete, Ryan. But anyway…the Oscars suck.
March 6, 2006 at 2:51 am #56568Spider-FanParticipantHOLY SHIT! Gustavo “You’ve never heard of me and shouldn’t ever hear of me” Santaolalla actually WON?! TRAVESTY!!!
March 6, 2006 at 3:00 am #56569Danny BurtonParticipantLaughable.
What a joke.
Maybe Danny’s next score should be two guitar strums playing over and over again if he wants to win one of these awards.

March 6, 2006 at 3:41 am #56570Spider-FanParticipantMy updates:
“It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp”: complete joke. Those guys accepting their award: ridiculous. A sure sign of where the Oscars have headed in recent years. I think Jon Stewart agrees with me, what with all the 36 Mafia jokes.
Did anyone catch Danny’s “Men in Black” played as Will Smith walked out to present Best Foreign Language Film? Pretty neat! That’s two appearances so far for Danny’s music!
March 6, 2006 at 3:44 am #56571Dawg ManParticipantThe only thing that surprises me is John Williams, who got two noms, being beaten out by the gay cowboy movie composer. This honestly is the year for the Brokeback movie, damn the other material.
By the way, It’s weird to see Elfman get snubbed so “It’s hard to be a pimp” can win. What… the… hell.
March 6, 2006 at 4:26 am #56572Dawg ManParticipantWow. Looks like i’ll reverse the sentiment that Brokeback is the big winner. CRASH just kicked it’s ass as best picture.
March 6, 2006 at 4:31 am #56573Danny_TrejoParticipantWhy are you even piss off?
D. Elfman wasn’t even nominated, and yes GUstavo Santaolalla music is great, and yes i’m a huge fan of Danny Elfman
March 6, 2006 at 4:45 am #56574Ryan KeaveneyKeymasterThe BROKEBACK theme heard in “The Wings” is a complete rip-off of James Horner’s APOLLO 13.

March 6, 2006 at 4:46 am #56575Spider-FanParticipantI was rooting for Munich. Williams’s score was so beautiful, and his rendition of “Hatikvah” was so moving to me. From the portions I’ve heard from “Brokeback,” it was a very uninteresting score with absolutely no depth to it at all. Compare it to last year’s “Finding Neverland” score, which was entirely worthy of the award. This year, Williams and Marianelli were the only ones to write traditional scores; not to be against newer sounds, but there was really nothing going on with the “Brokeback” and “Constant Gardener” scores. I would have sooner voted “Batman Begins” into the nominations list than either of those.
March 6, 2006 at 4:49 am #56576Mr. DantzParticipant“It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp” is a classic! This shit will be listened to 300 years from now, and the artists will be grouped together with the likes of Beethoven and Mozart. These guys are geniuses to be sure.
March 6, 2006 at 5:17 am #56577Danny BurtonParticipantWhat a manipulative, heavy-handed film that Crash was.
The worst Oscar winner since The Greatest Show on Earth.
What a trainwreck this show was. At least Jon Stewart was funny.
March 6, 2006 at 6:27 am #56578chocothraxParticipantJon Stewart is my hero.
March 6, 2006 at 7:29 am #56579TenderLumplingParticipantAh, Brokeback Mountain — Inarguably, the best score of 2005! — Quite a triumph, considering that it has no chromatic, melodic or emotional competency.
So, kudos to the Academy: You’ve sent a strong message to the film score world: “we don’t care about our credibility.”
D. Elfman wasn’t even nominated, and yes GUstavo Santaolalla music is great…
In Amores perros?
The BROKEBACK theme heard in “The Wings” is a complete rip-off of James Horner’s APOLLO 13.
Yes, and luckily for Gustavo Santaolalla, the Academy hadn’t the foggiest.
I was rooting for Munich. Williams’s score was so beautiful, and his rendition of “Hatikvah” was so moving to me.
Mmm, without a doubt. And jugging from that performance, Munich knocked the stuffing out of the competition. The Munich theme, like a Nutter Butter, is richly-satisfying. Just lovely.
March 6, 2006 at 1:14 pm #56580RCoxParticipantCorpse Bride may have lost, but Wallace and Grommit is also a very good film. If you haven’t seen it, do so, along with all of their shorts.
March 6, 2006 at 2:58 pm #56581bethParticipantThe Wallace and Grommit shorts *are* good and fun and interesting, as shorts, but at full length, they were no where near the caliber of Corpse Bride.
I stopped watching the oscars the year after Titanic swept.
March 6, 2006 at 6:30 pm #56583MonsterheadParticipantAs much as I loved CORPSE BRIDE, after just 15 minuted into WALLACE AND GROMMIT – I knew they’d win the Oscar. Ans with all due respect, W&G was a better animated movie.
But yes, yes, yes……The Oscars blew.
And note to Lauren Bacall – SHOW UP FOR REHEARSALS NEXT TIME!
March 6, 2006 at 8:51 pm #56584Edward BloomParticipantToo bad for Corpse Bride but I’m not pissed off : it was either Burton & Johnson or either Miyazaki or Park. It was, for once, a very coherent and talended nomination list. As for Danny, I think he’ll never get the recognition he deserves.
March 6, 2006 at 9:52 pm #56585TenderLumplingParticipantAns with all due respect, W&G was a better animated movie.
Wait. It was a better animated movie in terms of actual animation, or in terms of quality of the film itself?
March 6, 2006 at 11:37 pm #56586sojuskeParticipantI was upset about the score… I also thought that Munich should have won. If only because, it was a moving score. I throughly enjoyed it, it brought about emotion. If not munich well then Memoirs. Just… Any score but brokeback really… but no.
And Wallace and Gromit.. I knew they were going to get it but, I think Burton deserved it more. I really enjoyed corpse bride, the animation, how fluid it was, and the story. Wallace and Gromit, for the first time, I got bored during Wallace and Gromit in that movie. It just wasn’t as good as their shorts. At least not in my opinion.
March 7, 2006 at 2:04 am #56587Mr. DantzParticipantCorpse Bride didn’t blow my socks off to say the least, so I’m not sour about it. I’m sour over the fact that a piece of SHIT excuse for noise got an oscar where Danny Elfman should have triumphed (or at least should have been nominated for at least ONE).
March 7, 2006 at 4:17 am #56588sojuskeParticipantWell, you are right. I mean, *shrugs* It was still good. At least it wasn’t beaten by something like… Hoodwinked or something. All of them would have been deserving of that award.
And I heard about that song. I left after the scores were done, so I heard this morning about the pimp song winning. That was really stupid. He shouldn’t have been cut from the shortlist, I swear.
March 7, 2006 at 4:37 am #56589SleepyHelloParticipantI’ve yet to voice this, since I was too scared to, but….
I was thoroughly disappointed with Corpse Bride. The film itself, and yes, Danny’s score and songs were extremely disappointing. I really think they had it in them to do a million times better. I was sad when the movie ended, and not because of the intended reasons.
Wallace and Gromit was 1,000,000 times better and more enjoyable.
