The score to 1917 was so sublime, Thomas Newman ignored again by the Academy. What a shame...
Honestly, one of the greatest film score composers....Thomas Newman....denied again.
I like Thomas Newman a lot. The score for 1917 was gorgeous. A few other favorites over the years that I think are in that same vein were Glory by James Horner and The Assassination of Jesse James by Nick Cave. Neither were even nominated. John Williams' JFK and Schindler's List are right up there, too. Williams actually won the Oscar for Schindler.
movies have literally saved the classical genre from the ash heap. Band of Brothers by Kamen was such a great score as well.

It seems like all award show viewership numbers have been declining for a few years, which is a bummer for them I guess, but what I don't understand is how they were so popular to begin with?
Sure they can be fun shows, but since when has an award show ever been "must-see"? There's all this reminiscing about how great The Oscars (or Grammys, or Emmys, or...) used to be, but what exactly about Billy Crystal was so life-changing versus what we have today?
My guess is the show is just as good as it's always been, but now there's more choices and everyone's a critic.
Anyways, I thought the show was fine. Eminem was cool and Brad Pitt seems like a pretty normal guy, considering who he is.
He was actually funny. Winning an Oscar can be life-changing for the winner, don't know too many people who watch these shows would actually claim they're life changing though.

I loved the score from 1917, but the score from Joker was so dark and foreboding. It was the perfect score for the transformation of the character. At one point while we were watching Joker in the theater, the bass played that beautiful line, and my daughter and I looked at each other and said, "Chills!" I felt like it was the underdog to 1917, and have no problem with either winning.
I actually feel the same with 1917 and Parasite. I liked 1917, and felt it should have won, but don't really take issue with Parasite winning. Both great films.
Oscars draw smallest TV audience ever
No small wonder w/ the Reality Show that’s playing daily out of DC... 
Interesting to hear all the talk about the scores. To be honest, I am very un-musical and don't notice much of the music. Yeah it affects the movie for sure, but I don't ever say "I gotta get that score!"
That is about to change tho. my eldest son is going to graduate with a music technology degree and has a job lined up for scoring. It will be an animated film and he did an internship with the company last summer. They were impressed and have hired him when he graduates. pretty dang cool in my book. Will have to start paying attention to the score now.
He did the score for a local campaign called End the Violence about domestic abuse. Watching that premiere was conflicting. The message of the film was very powerful, but I kept wanting to hear more of the music.
I heard that next year, they are going to put a new rule in that once a new presenter takes the stage they have to announce at least 3 awards before leaving to help speed up the broadcast.

That is spectacular! I'm a music theory hobbyist, and love music production. I'm not sure I've heard of a music technology degree. Is that sound production, etc?
Congratulations again, that is great!
My favorite Thomas Newman score..

Thank you. Sound production, scoring, basically the fusion of music and technology. He has had his keyboard plugged into his computer since 8th grade or so, mixing, learning and in general doing things that I can't begin to comprehend.
But he is very into the scoring, basically composing the feel that the writer/director wants to control in the audience.
