The Belief-Action Nexus has consulted with the Academy on the basis of detailed stipulations in award criteria. Due to the fact that he does not qualify for Oscar score, the Academy will award him another: Most Underated Bandmate of the 20 and 21st Centuries.

Have you touched the belief-action nexus? Go wash your hands.

John Williams has won tons of Oscars, and any classical music fan knows that he blatantly rips off classical artists (especially Holst)all the time and then stamps his name on it! If Williams gets Oscars for his soundtracks, then let Johnny be at least eligible to win one!!

i think it may be becuase radiohead/greenwood are a pop band, and it would be unfair to let the professional musicians trained properly music AS AN ART to stand against greenwood.

lets face it, greenwood would win, by NAME, HOWEVER, if it was the score for harry potter ect or a big film it would have worked i think

the corporate fat cats wouldnt want to promote a film that has no money in it on a big ratings oscar show

the oscars are a lot than just giving awards

people want on the show big film – big composer… not rock composer, crap film

Never fails to amuse me how so many of the people on this board are adolescent drama queens who only have to be lightly poked with a stick in order to jump around like monkeys on a hot plate. “Greenwood score ineligible for Oscars”. Atease members: “OOOOHHHH MAAAAANN THIS BLOOOWWWSSSS IT’S SUCH BUUULLL SHIIITTT” etc etc etc blah blah blah. Do you REALLY give a shit about whether he’s in contention for a fucking oscar? get some perspective, you whinging ninnies.
