Most film scores are impacted by drums and percussions, so why is it, when someone does something innovative in music scoring, would the Academy seek to discourage and punish said musician? Shouldn't we be encouraging innovation, as I assumed that this is what the Academy is all about? Is a piano not a percussive instrument? But if this score was a piano score, it would be deemed acceptable for cosideration? |

#64 Re:2015-01-04 00:08:17I have seen it argued that the score was disqualified due to some use of additional music, but all seems to be nebulous, in that regard, considering that said rules were not strictly enforced against past eligible scores, hence, the score for "Birdman" has been made the victim of a subjective selection process. It appears to me, that the score was discriminated against, largely because it is drum based...as I have previously mentioned, having nothing to do with the officially offered reasonings by the Academy for disqualification. This is a political decision, not one based upon creativity, or linear based logic, but rather, it is based upon the ever wavering Academy rules, to be used to benefit ones friends and allies, when one chooses, than to serve fairness. |
