2007 Oscar preview: honorary academy award for Ennio Morricone
Forget about this year's actual nominees for best film score: Gustavo Santaolalla for Babel; Thomas Newman for The Good German; Philip Glass for Notes On A Scandal; Javier Navarrete for Pan's Labyrinth; and Alexandre Desplat for The Queen.
These are all worthy composers, but like I said, forget about 'em. Because this set of pikers can't hold a baton-shaped candle to the guy receiving this year's honorary Oscar.
Read it all: A fistful of statue By John P. Meyer
And breaking news: Sony Classical announced the release of a tribute recording called We All Love Ennio Morricone, to feature selections orchestrated by Morricone himself, along with interpretations of his work by such artists as Celine Dion, Quincy Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Andrea Bocelli, Metallica, Roger Waters and Yo-Yo Ma.
