Because a composer decides not to use an orchestra and wants a original approach (Which it's the point of nominate a score as Best Original Score, and not Best Orchestral Score)?. Also, people don't seem to realize that this is not just an attack on out of conventional original scores, but also an attack to instrumental scores. Because The Social Network, you might complain that 99% of it it's all drones, with some random piano notes. But Birdman is played by live percussions, not the drum loops that Zimmer and his crooks have shoved into people's throats. People should be expecting for Gone Girl to not being nominated, since Reznor and Ross wasted a real orchestra for 3 minutes of music, with 70 minutes of droning. If they get nominated and win, that will be the real blow to traditional scores.    Posted:   Dec 24, 2014 - 12:26 AM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) Why it's a gimmick?

But you still forget that it likely wouldn't be the drumming that gets people to vote for it, but all the surrounding classical music.    Posted:   Dec 24, 2014 - 1:22 AM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) If they get nominated and win, that will be the real blow to traditional scores. Actually, the real blow to traditional scores is YOU bootlegging scores on various message boards and YouTube channels, Yonathan Vargas. -Erik-    Posted:   Dec 28, 2014 - 11:19 PM     By:   Ray Worley   (Member) I fail to understand why everyone keeps flogging the fact that the "gimmickness" or the quality (or lack of it...I haven't seen it yet so I can't comment) of the score had anything to do with its dis-qualification. It clearly DID NOT. It was simply due to the overabundance of non-original music in contrast to the scant original score. As I pointed out earlier, a policy which would have eliminated 'ROUND MIDNIGHT as an original score winner because it had little original music (of whatever quality) as compared to TONS of source music. The Academy is making NO JUDGMENT on the quality of the percussion score...just stating that it is overwhelmed by the non-original stuff. And as such, as haineshisway has opined, makes it difficult if not impossible for a non-musical Academy voter to make an informed vote as to the effectiveness of the original material. Now there is room to argue that the Academy was wrong and that the original score is NOT overwhelmed, but I haven't seen the movie and can't judge. That is a good discussion to have. But let's quit reading between the lines of this decision.    Posted:   Dec 29, 2014 - 5:45 AM     By:   johnbijl   (Member) The Academy is making NO JUDGMENT on the quality of the percussion score... Indeed. It would really be something if an entry would be disqualified because it wasn't good enough. Then I t should lose, not be thrown out of the race.     General Discussion: BIRDMAN drummed out of Academy consideration    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
