if 3-6 Mafia can win an award for "It's Hard to
be a Pimp", anything is possible

I had been wondering how this score got the

exactly this type of technicality. By the way
Greenwood's score was the outstanding piece and
a real shame it wasn't even in the running.

Given his substantial contribution to the
finished product, shouldn't Lodovic Bource have
shared his Oscar with Bernard Herrmann for the
score, or at the very least acknowledged him in
his thank you speech? Personally I much
preferred Howard Shore's more orchestral score
for Hugo (and it was all his own work to boot).

Subject: [MOPO] The Oscars
It's the morning after, and overall, I thought
it was a real snoozefest, Billy Crystal was
entertaining, but SO familiar in everything he
did and said. And was I the only one who kept
wondering if he might have looked and performed
better if he hadn't had his very obvious
plastic surgery? And isn't it a bad sign when
the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies.
It hit me when they did the "In Memorium"
segment, and there were tons of behind the
scenes people no one knows, with a few famous
faces thrown in. They have successfully turned
the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with
insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty
much ignore the viewing public, and give the
awards to the movies THEY like. the kind that
the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see.
Of course, this transformation has been going
on for many years, but at least they used to
pretend to care about the people who make it
all possible, those who buy the tickets. And in
a day when movies face more and more
competition from all sorts of other kinds of
entertainment, it may not be just the awards
ceremony that sees its number of viewers continuing to fall in coming years.
This was once must-viewing for me. and I have
watched it every year, but I think I will skip it next year.
