Hey, just have to ask, is it true that Michael Giacchino will be handling the orchestra on the 81st Academy Awards?
Yes, he is conducting the live orchestra for the show.
The Academy press release is here: http://www.oscars.org/press/pressreleases/2008/08.11.17.html
Michael Giacchino's awesome and deserves a lot more acknowledgement as a composer. I'm really excited that he's doing the music for Up. Thomas Newman is an incredible composer too.
Thanks for the confirmation! Michael Giacchino is my favorite!
When does Academy Award voting take place?
"When does Academy Award voting take place?"
I believe after the 22nd of January, when the nominations are announced.
Yes the 22nd we find out the nominations, and a month later, the winner! :) "And, winner fo best picture is... WALL-E!"
I am crossing my fingers. Of course Wall-E is the best film of the year but it would be great if the Oscars would recognize it as such. So many others have.
