I *can* answer that question, but not immediately. I have the show on tape for Goldsmith's fanfare debut. I'll try and hunt it down and find out.DH

As sad as the "In Memorium" segment can be, it's probably by favorite moment of the show for some reason. Sometimes you're reminded of those who passed away and you forgot, and sometimes it's shocking when you see someone who had no idea had died. I was totally shocked (I think it was the show two years ago) when they showed J.T. Walsh. I went, "No way!" I later checked the Internet and found it was, in fact, true. I couldn't believe it.On another note, does anything else think the show is just too damn long? The very first Academy Awards show lasted just 15 minutes. A guy was on stage with all the awards, would announce who the winner of a certain category was, the person would come up, shake hands, receive their award, and walk off stage, and it was on to the next category. No long-winded, teary-eyed speeches, no musical interruptions, just straight forward award-giving, the way it should be.

Most people think the show is too long, but I am one of the few who disagree. I LIKE it to run long ... I like the pageantry, and when I was younger and more naive, the suspense (there are rarely surprises anymore).The Memoriam (not Memorium, though this is commonly misspelled) sequences are invariably touching. I miss J.T. Walsh, too.

The Fox movie channel was running a similar piece around the end of the year, and featured Fox players, of course. The music editing was a bit obvious but not inappropriate. (I don't really remember what music was cobbled together specifically. Sorry.)In answer to the question, I too was going to blurt out Dragonheart. It really is amusing to see particular music snippets go in and out of favor with sound editors. Just how inbred are they? ------------------

On the other hand, that music from "Dragonheart" is not only stunningly beautiful, it is also very effective.But this section of the Oscars show always has beautifully chosen and played (by orchestra) music...and it's always a variety of pieces. Over on filmus-l we comment on the music every year... Ron

I heard that tune, it´s very beautiful, but, sorry to say, not from Dragonheart. The Dragonheart score was used in that Show, but in a different clip (that one featuring all winners for best picture in history).
I´m even more sorry to say I don´t know which tune is that, but if I recall, I read in the time (in fsm.com, by the way) it were composed by Michael J. Lewis. Anyone????
