The best score in 2019 was for JOKER. The Williams score wasn't really good....

I've been a huge John Williams fan since "The Reivers," and while I love almost everything he's written, my impression of this last "Star Wars" movie was that there was little original material. It sounded, to me at least, like a rehash of all the music from the previous two, with resurrected tracks from the original three installments.
I would much rather have seen Powell's score to "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" nominated (and win). Even though it, too, used some themes from the first of that series, there was so much that was new and absolutely breathtaking. It's still my favorite 2019 score. I haven't seen some of movies whose scores were nominated, including "1917 and "Joker," but I can't imagine I'll be dissuaded. For what it's worth, I did see "Little Women" (I thought the score was serviceable but nothing memorable) and "Marriage Story" (I'm a Randy Newman fan but I thought I had heard this score before in "Avalon" and other Newman-scored titles).
Oh, well, what can you expect from an organization that only awarded Jerry Goldsmith with one Oscar?

Remember :
The.only group.that takes.this.award.seriously.is.the.music branch that.makes.the.noms.
The voting for the award is.done by golk9 who don't give.a damn.
In other words...its the NOMINATIONS STUPID!

You never know what the Music Branch is gonna do. I think it strange that Howard Shore's great "Two Towers" score was deemed ineligible because of reused material while that's never been a question with these "Star Wars" scores. I mean, can anyone here explain to me what makes one eligible and one not (eligible)?
As for this year, I think "Joker" is simply a juggernaut, Hildur G, who I think is very talented, traveling down the "yellow brick awards road," (very likely) adding an Oscar to her Golden Globe, sundry critics awards and, of course, her Emmy for "Chernobyl."
I was sad that "The Aeronauts" didn't get any serious awards attention. I think Price did a wonderful job on that score (I'm surprised no BAFTA nom came his way).
Surprise du jour: Can you imagine the reaction from the Disney powers-that-be when "Frozen 2" failed to secure a Best Animated Feature nom? I was personally shocked (though happy to see "TS 4" in the lineup).

Silvestri has always been snubbed by the music branch . . unless he scores a ' prezgige' film like GUMP.
He's kinda like Morricone before DAYS.OF HEAVEN.
Don't.feel sorry.for.him. he's rich and loved by score fans the world over!
