Hey moolik, it's the Oscars. I didn't even know that FAME won that year, nor that EMPIRE lost. I didn't even know they were nominated.
Having said that, I suppose we should be outraged after seeing how - thanks to that year's Oscar fiasco - Michael Gore went on to become one of the most successful composers in history, while John Williams was abandoned by the industry, his last credit being one of the songs from the stage show "Carrie: The Musical".
But no sour grapes, man! Who would want to be a successful anything in Hollywood today? I think that Gore is less "happy" being part of the industry. It has stifled his creativity, whereas John Williams, even at age 90, can always make that move to Bollywood in the hope of getting a hit song while begging for rice in the street.
I hate the Oscars. Alfred Hitchcock would still be deservedly considered a talentless hack if it weren't for the dozens of "Best Director" Oscars he won throughout his pitiful career.

Graham Watt, do you have a permit for that weapons-grade sarcasm?

This is why they used to have the Adapted Score or Song Score category.

Yes, I have often wondered why FAME was even nominated for "Original Score"? Songs, hey, sure, by all means... but score??

You're all wrong. THAT YEAR, it should not have gone to 'Empire Strikes Back'. It should also not have gone to 'Fame'. It was meant to go to Philippe Sarde, for 'TESS'.

Agree! Tess was the best 'original' score.
Glad to see I'm not alone in feeling this way. TESB is awesome, but Tess is high art (and contains what is possibly my favorite love theme of all time).
After Tess, I'd rate Altered States as most Oscar-worthy that year.

Possibly the only year three nominees are in my collection!

As good as ESB is, it never thrilled me in the way SW did.
