Still can't believe this wasn't nominated for score

[@O-DogKubrick]

He almost won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. But lost due to that Swedish composer who did Oppenheimer.

[@savvastoynoysidis360]

Hey the score of Oppenheimer was also really great but i agree​@@O-DogKubrick

[@MrRobot-bp8ev]

If he was nominated for this, he would have had been nominated numbers of times already~

[@alexandreghibli]

@@MrRobot-bp8ev True, not sure if people have listented to his other soundtracks, but I follow him way back, and this soundtrack isn't even close to his previous works which by the way, are way better and more complex in terms of composition. He just said he prefered applying something more minimalistic for this movie, of course minimalistic music can be good as well, but in this case, his other albums are way better.

[@AdventuresAwait123]

It was stunning

[@nightbender9250]

Its so insane and honestly insulting he wasn’t nominated for best original score

It is truly a shame his nomination was overlooked, but I'm thankful the Academy put out this genuinely insightful look into the score! This is one of Hisaishi's most distinct and personal scores and it's deserving of so much praise.

[@joshuatewolde1837]

Good news The Boy and the Heron is the OFFICIAL WINNER of the 2024 Oscars for best animated feature this year!!

[@user-kp9gt3zs1c]

"Music shouldn't be explaining" "No matter how many times I'm reborn, I'd still want to become a composer again." He's not just a legend. He is the greatest composer alive and one of the greatest in history. I realized it on the moment, when on every theme played - from "Ask me Why" to "Collapse", I teared up and cried with pure joy. Every single piece of his work, especially in The Boy and the Heron, really deepens the perception of not just what you feel about the Miyazaki-sensei work, but of what you feel about your true self, that just took a deep breath full of live inside you. 久石先生、素晴らしい仕事をしていただき本当にありがとうございました

[@anthonythorne8708]

The Academy doesn't control who gets nominated, it's up to the volume of preliminary votes. This might be the Academy's gesture of recognition for a person who they feel was equally deserving for a nomination. My guess - sometime in the future Joe Hisaishi may get his own honorary Oscar. They gave one to Ennio Morricone, I wouldn't be surprised to see this wonderful composer also get one.

I truly believe that this man is the greatest composer alive right now, and it is just so beautiful to see him work with a talented director just as talented as him. His music is so profound, beautiful and enchanting, and portrays the nature and the human nature of this world. It truly makes me devastated that Hisaishi didn’t get the Golden Globe award for best composer, and now he isn’t even nominated for the Oscar award!! This is ridiculous… because this man should have gotten it a decade ago. ❤ 🥇

[@alirezaomrani7650]

He should have got several if you ask me. I mean seriously, what is this madness? No seriously what is it? It’s like Modern Academies that are in charge of handing out awards are losing more and more ability to recognize genuinely outstanding meaningful Music. Music is a language that speaks to the soul. Unfortunately for us, the bastards in charge of the Academy don’t seem to have one. 😑

@@alirezaomrani7650 You’re totally right, it’s so annoying and upsetting that a truly talented and passionate man that has been for decades now, has not gotten the awards he deserves

Watching this video, I realized he doesn’t really care about prizes. He is absolutely enjoying the process of creating his original music, he knows how.

[@VizardUltimo]

I just arrived from the Theater a couple of hours ago…. Just… thinking. The score in this film belongs to another world. How it blends with the silence of the film. It just…. Makes me think. This music makes me think of the Sea. The Shores. I’ll take the obvious out of the way and say this: This movie deserved to run for much More than a single poor nomination. I could feel every background, the opening sequences, the voice acting, the character designs, the beautiful story …. The photography direction, Sound edition and effects were so taken care of…. And the cinematography. I could feel it all and it overwhelmed me time and time again. To be honest, I’m still taking it all in. I felt as if…. This director took his audience very seriously. So many years of hard work, so much talent poured into this. Thank god the album is on streaming services. I’ll be buying it no doubt. Along with the Book the film is based on. This is the second work I listen from Hisaishi after Ni No Kuni (2011). I’m blown away. What an experience.

[@house0paine535]

It is in reference to Isao Takahata's greatest, earliest inspiration. An old, french surrealist animated film called, "The King and The Mocking bird". Isao Takahata is co-founder of Ghibli and is quoted as saying, "if it weren't for that film, I would have never imagined entering the animation industry." Isao Takahata died halfway through the production of The Boy and The Heron and is represented by the Great Uncle in the movie.
