Razors.Out a contender at the Oscars

[mikeatron85]

Hey guys,

 

Bit of an interesting one. 'Razors.Out' from the film that Mike Shinoda scored, 'The Raid', has been listed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a possible contender for a nomination in the category of Original Song at the Oscars:

Good job Mike! Hopefully he lands a nomination, but I'm not hopeful with THAT much competition Still, nice to be acknowledged by the Academy that he could receive a nom!

It would be awesome if Razors Out could win this. It's a good song.

[ChuckCheese]

Very nice. It won't win, but hey, a nomination is amazing in itself.

Yeah, it's nominated for being nominated

[ThePretender]

The nominees are announced. No Razors.Out.

No surprise there

 

Disappointed though, as I really liked that song.

 

Kind of off-topic: I feel like the Oscars are becoming increasingly irrelevant year on year. Anyone else agree?

I totally agree, the whole oscars ceremony is EXTREMELY boring. It's like 4 hours long and commercial breaks every 5 minutes.

While I disagree that the Oscars are irrelevant (the awards and nominations are more coveted than ever) the show itself is an unnecessarily stretched out melodrama.

I guess I mean irrelevant in terms of the types of movies that are nominated for awards. This year being an exception, I'm quite sure the average box office of the nominated films has been on a steady decline since 07/09? And of course, big box office doesn't necessarily mean great quality... but there are some great movies that have done well at the box office, had universal critical acclaim, popular among the public yet they've been totally overlooked by the academy.

 

And the fact that Skyfall earned what, 3-5 nominations? Irks the living hell out of me (enjoyed the movie, but feel it is severely overrated).

Oscars are not irrelevant. Win the oscar for best actor/actress and you get a massive career boost. Sadly you can only win it for a drama performance. Comedy can be has hard as drama sometimes and is hardly recognized by the academy.

Also a lot of great movies never even got a nomination, like Pulp Fiction for example. You know what the academy is all about when a crap movie like Titanic gets tons of awards.

Well thats still better than the ZERO nominations "the Dark Knight Rises" got. Fair enough, we'd be delusional if we thought either had a chance at best film/director. But surely Cinematography, music or Editing would be a fair for TDKR? Guess not...
