#562015-01-01 01:56The history of the Oscars is full of authentic injustices in most of its sections. Directors like Welles and Hitchcock (let alone Walsh, Lubitsch) never received the Academy Award for Best Director. When they were near death only received ( they and other colleagues) an honorary Oscar. Can thus hiding a great injustice? And if we refer to film titles will find a range of authentic atrocities done to the glory of some particular interests. Movie relegated to ignorance in the awards, are now in the top of the filmic glory, while some, or many, that win are ignored when not repudiated. Does anyone remember, for example, that " lady " who was driving her car? |

#602015-01-03 22:32I would hope, if at all possible, the board would reconsider. And, It's always possible to reconsider. At least the effort should be made. |

#622015-01-03 23:05Saw the film for the second time last night and actually commented on the vital role the original drums make in adding underlying tension to Riggan's journey. They are off the mark on this disqualification. |

#632015-01-03 23:28Music, is music, and should be respected as such. Drums are central to all orchestras and 99.9.9 percent of all music compositions, arrangements, and the like. 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 00:08I 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. |

#652015-01-04 01:59 The Academy is full of shit. Antonio created a great score and should be eligible. |

#662015-01-04 04:11A dumb decision to screw the effort of Sanchez who made possible to make Birdman an excellent film. |
