Well...the fact that the Onna Joushu Naotora soundtrack didn't get a nomination makes me sympathize even more with Waxman's quitting the Academy. It's mostly a joke, and the Dunkirk nomination reinforces that imo.

A foreign TV drama getting a nomination for the American Oscars... [Spock] That would be illogical! [/Spock]

You said it, Christian! Never mind the fact that it was one of the elite soundtracks...perhaps of this decade. Nothing original or innovative...but I don't think that was the composer's intention. Just a spectacularly well crafted, nostalgic-smile-bringingly orchestrated, involving to listen to effort. An excellent soundtrack imo.

Coinkidinkally (or a word like that), I'm listening to it for the first time right now. And I'm really liking what I'm hearing so far!

Dunkirk makes perfect sense. This nomination is, of course, for the most *effective* use of music in a movie. And hot damn, it was that.

Why would a TV soundtrack get a nomination for the biggest FILM awards show of the year?

Also, the Dunkirk nomination is well deserved. I'm going to listen to that album a couple of times at work today.

Five of Williams' eight Star Wars scores have been nominated. Man, talk about a legacy.

Dunkirk is an atrocity of a score.

Agreed. I also have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised they nominated Last Jedi rather than The Post. While I can't judge which is better as I have not yet heard The Post, Last Jedi's nomination is very well deserved.

I think it's hilarious that after years of the Academy disqualifying scores if they reach back too much to existing themes, they nominate THE LAST JEDI, which plays like a Greatest Hits of the STAR WARS saga.
What a bunch of &*%$^*
