IFMCA - Die Nominierungen für 2009

[Marcus Stöhr]

Die IFMCA hat die Nominierungen für die IFMCA Awards 2009 bekannt gegeben:

The International Film Music Critics Association announces its list of excellence in musical scoring for 2009 with composer Michael Giacchino receiving nine individual nominations, the most for any composer in a given year since the Association began issuing awards in 2004. Along with multiple mentions for his score to the Disney Pixar movie UP and JJ Abrams reinvented STAR TREK, Giacchino receives nominations for his scores to the TV series LOST as well as the documentary EARTH DAYS. Giacchino is also nominated for Composer of the Year along with Alexandre Desplat, James Horner, Christopher Young and Brian Tyler.

Both UP and STAR TREK are nominated for Score of the Year, along with James Horners score to the worldwide blockbuster AVATAR and Christopher Youngs score to Sam Raimis DRAG ME TO HELL. These film scores are tied with the most nominations this year at four noms each. Alexandre Desplats score to THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON rounds out the category.

In the category of Breakout Composer, the Association took notice of scores by up-and-coming composers Henry Jackman (MONSTERS VS ALIENS), Abel Korzeniowski (A SINGLE MAN and BATTLE FOR TERRA), James Peterson (THE RED CANVAS), Clinton Shorter (DISTRICT 9) and Austin Wintory (CAPTAIN ABU RAED, GRACE, MAKE THE YULETIDE GAY).

The nominations by the IMFCA, which has members from around the world, reflect the Associations global perspective. International nominees include Alejandro Amenábars latest movie AGORA with a score by Oscar winner Dario Marianelli; Giuseppe Tornatores semi-autobiographical BAARÌA with a score by Ennio Morricone; Australian composer Christopher Gordons score to Bruce Beresfords MAOS LAST DANCER, about ballet dancer Li Cunxin; as well as the Spanish documentary GARBO: EL ESPÍA with a score by Fernando Velázquez.

[Gast Andreas]

Ich hoffe mal das in der Kategorie "BEST ORIGINAL SCORE FOR A DRAMA FILM" Ennio Morricone gewinnen wird, wobei Abel Korzeniowski natürlich auch gute Chancen hat.

Ich denke, dass die Entscheidung schlussendlich zwischen diesen beiden fallen wird.

"BEST NEW RELEASE/RE-RELEASE OF AN EXISTING SCORE" ist für mich ganz klar Star Trek II.

Und bei "BEST ORIGINAL SCORE FOR A VIDEO GAME" drück ich natürlich Hans & Co. die Daumen.

Das sind coole Nomis!

[ToneDef]

Naja aber Horners War als Best Composition of the Year zu nominieren?Ist ja nun wirklich das mieseste Stück aufm Score,gerade wegen der Remote Control Anbiederung.

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Ganz ordentliche Nominierungen, finde ich.

Ich hoffe mal auf: Gordon in der Drama-Kategorie, Hamlisch bei Comedy, Beltrami bei Science Fiction, Young bei Horror und Giacchino bei Animation.

Warum? Kennst du die anderen nominierten Score überhaupt? THE RED CANVAS von James Petersen beispielsweise ist ein toller Score, Silvestris Musik weit überlegen wie ich finde. Selbst UNDER THE MOUNTAIN, würde ich sagen, ist dem Silvestri mindestens ebenbürtig.

Jo, und KNOWING war ganz nebenbei eine der besten Filmmusiken des Jahres...

[Gast Prinz]

"Knowing" habe ich auch. Begeistert mich aber nicht. Beltrami kann's besser.

[Siddl]

Ich finde Knowing gehört zu seine 3 Besten. Er hat lange nichts so interessantes abgeliefert.
