So they just had a tribute on the Oscars for all the different deceased people who contributed to the making of movies. This list included not just actors, but directors, sound editors, costume designers, producers, etc... but NOT ONE FILM COMPOSER WAS EVEN MENTIONED! Not even Jerry Goldsmith. NOT ONE! And all the while theyre playing really syruppy sentimental MUSIC to their tribute. Bone heads.
Last year they didn't even have William Ross conducting the music live in the auditorium. He was at another location doing it closed circuit. What a bunch of crap.
What are you even talking about? It wasn't a montage of everyone who has ever died.
I get that. But you would think that music is such a huge part of any great film that you would at least mention ONE film composer that contributed that to motion pictures. How about Korngold, or Rosza. Just one for petes sake.
Well, I'm glad Monsieur Desplat won for a delightful score for a wonderful movie, (and I didn't think Mr. Zimmer's score was one of his best), so that'll redress the balance.
