I'm listening to the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack--the Immolation Scene in particular.

HOW CAN THIS NOT BE NOMINATED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SCORE????

::punches Academy Awards in the face::

Because they counld't give John Williams three nominations in the same category? :)

It seemed to me that ROTS wasn't present in some if Star Wars' normal categories like sound editing and visual effects. What's up with that? It only got makeup, right?

Yup. It was totally snubbed.

I'm going to refrain from giving my opinion on John Williams and instead give the objective answer. ;o)

It may have to do with eligibility requirements... to be nominated for Original Score, the majority of the music must be written specifically for the film submitted. Since I know he reuses a lot of his themes (especially since it's one in a series), there just may not have been enough original music for it to get the nom. I know there was some confusion regarding that rule a few years ago when Howard Shore got snubbed for LOTR: The Two Towers.

And he already received two other nominations in the category. Let's not be piggy.

*grin*

Yeah, I know he's nominated twice, it just irks me that one of the nominations wasn't for Star Wars.

<--- Star Wars whore ;)

(BTW, I want to meet Kyle sometime! :) )

Hee hee. I know y'are. ;o)

You're welcome to visit any time! Too bad you were working when Alli and Nick visited a couple of weeks ago. We'll have to set up another game day soon!

Definitely!

Yes, I would have much rather been playing with a baby than playing with lots of Boy Scouts. :p
