I've always wanted a sequel to Midnight Run. Weird way to announce it.

Elfman wrote MIDNIGHT RUN. MIDNIGHT EXPRESS was Moroder, was it not?

I still can't believe this score beat both Days of Heaven by Morricone and Superman The Movie by Williams at the Academy Awards on April 9 1979. A date which will live in infamy!

I can. A very well deserved win.

Absolutely. And I can say that easily, despite being one of the biggest Williams fans in the room.

I would love to have the actual film score on CD.

They'd be better digging up the OST tracks which I'm not aware were ever released.

Thor, I am shocked, shocked, I say big grin

For me, it was a travesty razz Superman The Movie deserved that Oscar. I've been on a Williams kick lately, going back and re-discovering his music, and falling in love with it all over again. Superman has impressed me all over again as a stunning score, beatin' the pants off of anything nominated that year razz

But, hell I haven't listened to Midnight Express in 30 years, so, who knows big grin

Perhaps it was just because JW had taken the Oscar the previous year for "Star Wars." Guess the Academy didn't want to give it to him twice in a row, though "Superman" was itself a substantial achievement in several ways, one being the number of different musical styles woven together to serve the various settings and events of the film.

Salkind/Spengler may have had the '78 Oscars in mind when they hired Moroder to contribute music to "Superman III."

Obviously, I'd have liked Morricone to pick this one up, but I find it hard to resent Midnight Express/Run/Snack winning. I went out and bought the LP a day or two after the Oscars to see what the fuss is about and really enjoyed it. It gets played chez moi more often than Days of Heaven or (especially) Superman.
