The Oscars

[flippyshark]

I'm happy that Ennio Morricone was honored. He's the most idiosynchratic of major film composers, and thus one of my very favorites. I was amused that during the tribute film, we saw titles that would otherwise have no chance of being mentioned in an Oscar ceremony; Exorcist II: The Heretic, Orca The Killer Whale, terrible movies that gain an awful lot from Morricone's adventurous and uncompromising musical idiom.
