It was obvious that ARR wouldn't get it for Couples Retreat. If anyone had serious expectations for it then you can blame the tabloid media for creating all the hype. That's standard operating procedure for them.
It would have been awesome if Ennio Morricone (Baaria) and Marcel Barsotti (Pope Joan) got nominated for the score. Tough luck. There were so many good scores this year especially from Europe. Desplat alone has had a dizzying array of terrific works (Coco Avant Chanel, Cheri, Un Prophete, Twilight-New Moon, Julie & Julia). The man is simply unstoppable! In many ways his trajectory is like how ARR was in the 90s-- one stunner after another after another. ________________________________ From: Madhavan Rajan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, February 2, 2010 6:51:14 AM Subject: Re: [arr] Oscars 2010 - Praying god!!!! http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/82/nominees.html Music (Original Score) * “Avatar” James Horner * “Fantastic Mr. Fox” Alexandre Desplat * “The Hurt Locker” Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders * “Sherlock Holmes” Hans Zimmer * “Up” Michael Giacchino Music (Original Song) * “Almost There” from “The Princess and the Frog” Music and Lyric by Randy Newman * “Down in New Orleans” from “The Princess and the Frog” Music and Lyric by Randy Newman * “Loin de Paname” from “Paris 36” Music by Reinhardt Wagner Lyric by Frank Thomas * “Take It All” from “Nine” Music and Lyric by Maury Yeston * “The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)” from “Crazy Heart” Music and Lyric by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 7:17 PM, Madhavan Rajan <[email protected]> wrote: >Sorry to say...AR isn't nominated this time... > > >http://oscar.go.com/
