Writing music often is a solitary pursuit, so it was no wonder that when six renowned composers -- Marco Beltrami, 46 (The Sessions), Mychael Danna, 54 (Life of Pi), Alexandre Desplat, 51 (Argo, Moonrise Kingdom, Rise of the Guardians,Zero Dark Thirty), Patrick Doyle, 59 (Brave), Danny Elfman, 59 (Frankenweenie, Hitchcock, Promised Land,Silver Linings Playbook), and Fernando Velazquez, 36 (The Impossible) -- gathered in one room, they relished the chance to discuss the complexities of their trade as part of THR's roundtable series. The setting for this gathering of scoring heavy hitters and potential Academy Award nominees: a soundstage sans musicians but with the familiar trappings of a workspace they know all too intimately. Indeed, the high-pressure undertaking of putting music to picture can be a painful process, but the rewards, like a perfectly formed, unforgettable melody, are worth every sacrifice -- and there are many.Baca lengkapnya dan lihat videonya di sini.

Composer Alexandre Desplat Talks EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE, HARRY POTTER, TWILIGHT, Wes Anderson and MOONRISE KINGDOM, and More
Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub mewawancarai Alexandre Desplat dan dapat dilihat di situs Collider.com. It's a really really good interview. Berikut kutipan wawancaranya:
What is the score that you did not write in the last year or two that you absolutely love and wished you had done it?
What is the score that you did not write in the last year or two that you absolutely love and wished you had done it?
I like The Hours a lot, I think it's a great score. I love what Danny did on Milk, I think that was a really great score and very different from his big Marvel films that he does so well, so brilliantly. He's a fantastic.. I also like his call for Alice, it's a beautiful score.. (inaudible). I love what Thomas Newman did for Revolutionary Road, it was a beautiful score. Going back, I could say Javier Navarrete score for Pan's Labyrinth was stunning. Way back, John Williams' Geisha, John Williams' Catch Me If You Can which should have won everything, I think. His opening title is forever. It's forever, just for that he should have had the Oscar, just for that. Genius.

Master film score composer, Danny Elfman, shares stories and speaks on his career and craft
Wawancara Mike Ragogna dengan Danny Elfman sekarang sudah dapat didengar audionya. Berikut kutipannya:
Oh, yeah, there are a lot. Right now, his talent makes me miserable because he is so good and even more prolific than me but I can't dislike him because A, he is a good guy and B, he is a great composer, and that is Alexandre Desplat. I think he is the motherf**ker on the street that has to be reckoned with for other composers right now in my mind. Not the most successful, but that doesn't define who the best is.

At 77, Original Score Is Oscar's Smallest Field
Berita tanggal 29 Desember 2010 ni, tentang film-film yang memenuhi syarat untuk mendapat nominasi Oscar. Memenuhi syarat antara lain kebanyakan menggunakan musik lama, kebanyakan lagu dan termasuk juga bahwa score-nya di-submit ke juri AMPAS. Patoet diperhatikan bahwa ada dua dari tiga score Danny Elfman yang masuk ke dalam daftar ini yaitu Alice in Wonderland dan The Next Three Days. Score Danny Elfman yang tidak masuk adalah The Wolfman which I think is the best from the three, what a shame..
Eniweis, berikut kutipannya:
Last week came news that the musical scores for "True Grit," "Black Swan," "The Kids Are All Right" and "The Fighter" had been ruled ineligible by the Academy's music branch, either for using too much pre-existing music or for relying too heavily on songs.
Now that Academy voters have received the list of scores that did qualify, we can add "Toy Story 3" to the list of high-profile scores that aren't in the running – not because the branch ruled it ineligible, but because composer Randy Newman opted not to submit it.
Notable composers whose work isn't on the Oscar list: Harry Gregson-Williams for "Unstoppable," Desplat for "Tamara Drewe" and Dario Marianelli for "Agora."
