Round Midnight (soundtrack): Difference between revisions

{{cn-span|text=The awarding of the [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] for [[Academy Award for Best Original Score|Best Original Score]] to ''Round Midnight'' has been considered one of the most controversial wins in that category,|date=August 2013}} beating out [[James Horner]]'s score for ''[[Aliens (film)|Aliens]]'', [[Jerry Goldsmith]]'s score to ''[[Hoosiers]]'', and [[Ennio Morricone]]'s score for ''[[The Mission (film)|The Mission]]''. In his review of the score to ''[[Hoosiers]]'', Christian Clemmensen of [[Filmtracks.com]] stated, "The awarding of the original score Oscar for 1986 to Herbie Hancock for 'Round Midnight is considered one of the greatest of the many injustices that have befallen nominees for that category. Ennio Morricone and, to a lesser extent, James Horner were worthy of recognition that year, though Goldsmith's Hoosiers stands in a class of its own because of its immense impact on the picture."<ref>[http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/hoosiers.html ''Hoosiers''] soundtrack review at [[Filmtracks.com]]. Retrieved 2011-03-27.</ref> Morricone, who has never won a competitive Oscar, said in an interview: "I definitely felt that I should have won for The Mission, especially when you consider that the Oscar-winner that year was Round Midnight, which was not an original score. It had a very good arrangement by Herbie Hancock, but it used existing pieces. So there could be no comparison with The Mission. There was a theft!".<ref>{{cite web|author=Adam Sweeting |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2001/feb/23/culture.features1 |title=The Friday interview: Ennio Morricone &#124; Film |publisher=The Guardian |date= |accessdate=2012-03-07}}</ref>
