Toy Story 4

[Kyle]

That's not doubt gonna be removed as soon as someone from Disney reads this thread.

I don't think Disney is going to remove it since they were the ones who uploaded it there in the first place. At least, not until the award season is over i.e. after the Oscars. In any case, you can download each page by right-clicking on it and saving it but it's tedious and time-consuming. I don't know how to download the entire thing all at once.

Do people from Disney visit this site?

Yes, people from Disney monitor the forum for copyright infringement and leaks.

Yeah, definitely not doing that 168 times, lol. I didn't think they put this up on purpose, since it was unlisted. Why give out a 20 something dollar art book on a modern movie for free?

That's what I did. Yes, it's a bit tiresome, but I think it didn't take me more than 10 minutes to save all the pages.

I don't know, maybe they uploaded it there just for Academy members who have been provided of a link or something to access the content. I don't think it was intended to find by the general public; that's probably why it was unlisted. But that's just my guess, I don't know much about unlisted pages.

It's not Pixar. It's Randy Newman. The Academy has an inexplicable love for him.

You sure? It's no happy accident that Pixar's 10000% forgettable song magically won over an iconic WDAS song

Randy's song was forgettable, but that beyonce song was hardly iconic.

I agree, it's really just an example of general PIXAR bias.

I think disneyprincess may have been referring to "We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3 winning the Oscar over "I See the Light" from Tangled.

And the Academy's music branch definitely has a soft spot for Randy Newman beyond Pixar. Of his 22 nominations, 9 of them were for Pixar movies. For the '98 Oscars, Newman even got three nominations in total. To be honest, I share their enthusiasm for his work. I think Newman is one of America's greatest songwriters, sharpest satirists (his songs have quite a bite to them if you look outside of his movie songs) and a fantastic composer.

Looking over his nominations and his competition, if I was in the Academy, I would have probably voted for him to win for The Natural, Toy Story (both the score and "You've Got a Friend in Me"), A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2 (for "When She Loved Me"), Meet the Parents (for "A Fool in Love"), Monsters Inc (for "If I Didn't Have You"), The Princess and the Frog (for "Down in New Orleans") and his two nominations this year for Marriage Story and Toy Story 4.

I also saw these two ads the other day on Deadline. I quite like the awards campaign for Toy Story 4. It's simple, yet classy and effective.

They're using black and white to make it look like it's a prestige film. I'm not sure this approach works when you have characters like Woody and Forky but that shot of Bo is indeed pretty.

His score for Marriage Story was superb. Real shame that lost out.

Yes! Especially to that awful Joker

[Disney's Divinity]

Yes! Especially to that awful Joker

I don't pretend to have seen all the films nominated in all the Oscar categories at all, but I couldn't help thinking that Joker's score was the weakest in the category based simply on that medley they played of all the nominees... *shrug* I know it was supposed to sound bleak and hopeless, it just ended up very unmemorable to me and left no impact.

It might be. I just really hate that film and everything it represents so I just don't like that it got any accolades.

Yeah, I haven't understood the hype for Joker at all and the score really wasn't memorable at all. Pretty much every other film nominated would have been a better choice. To think that Joker fans on social media are still fuming that the film didn't win Best Picture.

[Disney's Divinity]

It might be. I just really hate that film and everything it represents so I just don't like that it got any accolades.

If it's any consolation it only one 2 of the 9 awards it was nominated for. I was similarly gratified by that. Joaquin Phoenix winning is the only thing I was rooting for simply because I like Phoenix (although I would've been just as happy for Leonardo Dicaprio, too!), and that was one of the two it did win, thankfully. As I said, I don't think it really even deserved score...

I kind of knew Phoenix would win simply because he starved himself for the role. Going above and beyond, changing your own appearance or accent for a role, is a catnip to the Academy.

I agree, of all the nominated scores this year, that one was my favorite. Plus, though Randy Newman has two Oscars for Best Song, he has never won for Best Score. It would've been nice if he had received one in that category as well.

Regarding Joker's score, I guess it helps to create the atmosphere needed for the movie, but I don't get why it's so beloved and has received all the major awards either. As for the film itself, I didn't love it, but I did like it and I think it has a really important message. Curiously enough, Parasite, the movie that won Best Picture, has pretty much the same message as Joker. I was really glad it won, by the way. 1917 is a well-made and entertaining film, bust it's not as profound as Parasite, which had a much higher impact on me. I was still thinking about that film several days after having seen it.

[Farerb]

To me Joker is more about being "edgy" and shocking the audience, all that mental illness issues that were done in the film was there just to show that "life is bad" and that we should feel bad and not really handle it seriously so to me everything there just seems shallow. Nihilism for the sake of nihilism. I think it's time to understand that nihilism != realism.

I haven't seen Parasite so I can't comment on that. I saw people say it's good so I guess it is. Out of the Best Picture nominees that I did see I liked Little Women the best. TBH my favorite film out of 2019 is Knives Out, but it wasn't nominated, probably cause the Academy doesn't care for comedies.

[Disney Duster]

Sorry to go off-topic, but I want to defend Joker. You see, I am like Arthur Fleck. I'm not homicidal, but I am a loser. I have a mental illness. Deep bipolar depression. I have to work a crappy job. I live with my parents. The film touched me. Maybe it didn't delve into mental illness, or dealing with it, enough for you, or many, many critics, but it certianly did for me, and I'm someone who actually has a mental illness. When Arthur says, "I just wanna feel good" and "All I have are negative thoughts", even though I am not exactly like him, I can relate. I understood what he was saying and felt his pain. The message of the film is not just feel bad for people with mental illnesses. It is that we should do more about it. We should take care of people with mental illnesses and really try to help. Even just being kinder to people whom you meet can help. And don't cut programs and medical care of course. And if we can afford it, give money. The film was not edgy for the sake of being edgy. It was alerting audiences to a problem that we should try to prevent. I won't go shooting anyone because that's not in my nature. But that's not the point. No one like Arthur Fleck should have to deal with what he had to before he went homicidal.

I agree, of all the nominated scores this year, that one was my favorite. Plus, though Randy Newman has two Oscars for Best Song, he has never won for Best Score. It would've been nice if he had received one in that category as well.

At least he has a better win-to-lose ratio than his cousin. Thomas Newman is still Oscarless after losing his 15th nomination on Sunday.

There are so many times he would have been a deserving winner. He's just had the bad luck of going up against stiff competition. He definitely deserved it for Finding Nemo (but that was the year Return of the King swept), Wall-E (but Academy voters really responded to Slumdog Millionaire) and Saving Mr. Banks (when Gravity won almost all of the crafts categories, including best original score).

That he didn't win for American Beauty and Road to Perdition are probably the biggest shockers.
