- Sting and Phil Collins presenting Howard Shore the Oscar® for Music (Original Score) for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" at the 76th Academy Awards in 2004.
Most deserved Oscar of all time.
Cheese Prime haha what are you talking about? Please tell me more why Lotr is oscar thieves
Cheese Prime So lotr is a great movie but it's bad because people think it's way better than other movies in the category?
Lord of the Rings is the height of cinematic achievement, and it can be objectively proven. Additionally, Howard Shore's score was voted the greatest original motion picture soundtrack of all time. Which it is. By a LONG fucking shot.
Take your finding nemo and shove it right up your ass
Cheese Prime well then can you please explain to everyone why Finding Finding Nemo is better than LOTR?
@Cheese Prime Do you think the Lotr soundtrack is overrated?
Probably the best music score ever written, at least to me.
John Williams star wars is pretty damn good
Amen
Exactly I also think so, he deserves much more recognition than he has.
Howarad Shore is great, and I love his music for all of the LotR movies. But come on. He's no John Williams.
I prefer the Ost for Lion king
Damn straight it won the best score. Some of the most iconic leitmotifs I've ever heard in a movie.
what's a leitmotif?
I also think so, he deserves much more recognition than he has.
@@mufasaiii2455 All the themes/melodies/tunes in the music.
A leitmotif is a short theme that plays for a character, object, or setting.
Which Wagner started doing. There is a whole lot of composers who has done this for a long long time before this. Also, Tony Ling. What is "best" is really subjective. I don't find many leitmotif in Shore's scores very strong in character. John Williams, Wagner, is better at this, which is also subjective, but in a analytic view one can shade off the subjective-matter in this context.
What Shore has done in this serie is not really memorable. Take the Two Towers for instance - the leitmotif for Sarumann is not strong. It is weak in character. Take in comparison how much more memorable and stronger the Empire's Theme in Star Wars is. If any of you have strong arguments and descriptions of good leitmotifs in LOTR / Hobbit, let me know. 😀
This dude has scored FOUR Best Pictures: "The Silence of the Lambs", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "The Departed", and "Spotlight". You gotta give it up.
Hans Zimmer matches that tally with Rain Man, Driving Miss Daisy, Gladiator and 12 Years a Slave. However, he has just one Oscar to Shore's three.
@@jarredkennedy6131 John Williams is still the King.
@@aaronbarlow4376 He has just one BP: Schindler's List. But, I absolutely agree.
Max Steiner was the first to have FOUR Best Picture scored: Cimarron, The Life of Emile Zola, Gone with the Wind, and Casablanca.
James Horner: Braveheart, Titanic and A Beautiful Mind
The Return of the King mopped the floor at the 76th Oscars, winning all 11 awards for which it was nominated.
Pretty much sabotage within the Academy that year.
Sean Austin should’ve got best supporting role, but then again there were so many great actors all of them were essentially playing that role in a way,
that movie is really a masterpiece
Howard Shore’s score is pure beauty. There aren’t words to fully express it. It was 100%
It’s the greatest film score in history. Not even Williams or Zimmer can compare with what Howard Shore did for these movies.
Great scores nominated, but there's just no comparison. Howard Shore studied actual fictional history and languages to create the music for the films. Such passion could not, and should not be overlooked. Completely deserved.
I also think so, he deserves much more recognition than he has.
So JUST because he did THAT he deserves to win? 😂
@@rabarebra Not just because of that, but also because the score was magnificent…
@@gauravw6947 It is an OK score, not magnificent. It is pretty simple score.
@@rabarebra Only someone untalented and ignorant about music and the study/research of a different universe with fictional languages and history would call it ‘pretty simple’ or ‘ok’ score…
Still one of the most magical film scores in existence.
Totally deserved! Shore has done a legendary job. It touched me 15 years ago and I still listen to it regularly till this day. Its a story in itself. You can literally feel the world by not even watching the movies.
Evenstar KRS OFFICIAL Totally agree. I actually fell in love with the music before I even knew about Tolkien or the films.
Yes u r absolutely rt
There was really no competition here. Howard Shore is a genius
They should've played Rohan's theme as he aproached
They played the music of Gondor instead, because the movie takes place mostly in that realm.
Exactly . That was great . Is *
They played Rohan's theme the previous year when the Two Towers won.
@@craigdavidson5613 Two Towers didn't win. It couldn't win due to the first movie won. Rules within the Academy prohibited sequels to get nominated. Why do you lie?
@@rabarebra I did not mean that it won Best Original Score. I meant that whenever The Two Towers won an Oscar, they played Rohan’s theme.
Finding Nemo had the worst luck being released the same year as ROTK. Thomas Newman would've won any other year for that beautiful score.
Agreed! I just found out here that it was nominated. Finding Nemo has a great score, too bad LOTR was its competition
Finding Nemo a great score? 😂 Any themes you can whistle to me?
I imagined every award that Return of The King won honored the efforts behind the entire trilogy; not just each film. As it should be.
1:38 And The Oscar Goes To…
1:13 Finding Nemo By
Thomas Newman 🏆
@@TheProtagonist2020 not funny
Seeing Annie Lennox being barely able to contain her excitement, and hearing Howard Shore’s voice crack up a bit when he thanked his wife, made me feel so incredibly happy. ❤
love how it was starting to sink in the sweep was underway
One of the best musical scores in cinematic history! most deserved Oscar win! Thank you Howard Shore.
Soooo deserved. He created a whole new musical universe with his magical melodies. Absolutely overwhelming score!
Howard Shore you are genius. You have my admiration forever...
The score to the LOTR that Howard Shore has written is a classic on its own now. One of the best pieces of music. Period.
This guy is a genius
I've never heard a score that fitted more to the universe described. best soundtrack ever.
Still listening this score set years later
What's the title of the soundtrack they used in presentation?
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King had great music score.
The entire trilogy had perfect music
The same comentary
@@patrickgogan3517 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has better music score than The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
@@andresreyes2907 While the scores for its predecessor and sequel won the Academy Award for Best Score, the soundtrack for The Two Towers was not nominated. Initially there was confusion over the score's eligibility due to a new rule applying to sequels, but the Academy did declare it eligible.
No shat Sherlock why do you think it won best original score 😂
My favorite music score of all time wins 2 Oscars!!! ♡
مجموعتي الموسيقية المفضلة في كل العصور تفوز بجائزتي أوسكار
مجموعتي الموسيقية المفضلة في كل العصور تفوز بجائزتي أوسكار
The most deserved award of all time !!!
Danny Elfman deserves an award, but the Academy doesn't like him and his background. It is valued by face, not skills.
Howard Shore, John Williams and Hans Zimmer are from a different planet
Absolutely 💯💯💯💯
And Thomas Newman for his *1917* score.
and James Horner
Except Hans Zimmer doesn't write all his scores. He only wrote about a third of his Gladiator score for instance
I love all their faces their like not that movie again well it deserved it anyway.
For each award won by this masterpiece, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THE OTHER NOMINEES WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL LOSE
I love how happy Annie Lennox was!
No one has ever deserved an Oscar more ....
... than Danny Elfman.
Agree.
Half of lord of the rings was the amazing soundtrack
What's the title of the soundtrack they used for presentation?
@@rajapandian8301 If you're asking about the music played as Shore walks up to accept the Oscar, that'd be "The White Tree". It's the tune that plays when the beacons are being lit. The orchestra here plays it quite a bit slower than in the film/score.
He told the whole story with just music. The most appropriate Oscar for probably the greatest score in cinematic history. Tolkien would have been astounded, iam sure. Thank you Howard.
And the oscar goes to: Annie lenox. What a voice and soul.
SUCH A DESERVED OSCAR❤❤
To my knowledge he's the only composer to have won multiple Oscars for the same series. Not even John Williams has achieved that.
Series? Shore didn't get nominated for Two Towers because of some rule of sequels in the Academy. Hence he could get nominated for Return.
@@rabarebra He first won for The Fellowship of the Ring.
@@jarredkennedy6131 Read my comment again, Einstein.
@@jarredkennedy6131 He won for Fellowship and Return, not Two Towers. So what?
John Williams is more coherent composers with much stronger merits and consistency within his quality of creating memorable themes and superior orchestral arrangement. That guy is beyond normal human being.
No one has ever come close to John Williams.
You do not list skills by number of silly awards given by this stupid Academy.
This guy created such a masterful & beautiful piece of iconic music!
Best score ever made. Every transition was amazing
To give score from Hobbit: An unexpected journey to Lord of the Rings: The Return of King..All 6 Parts of an Amazing Story of Middle Earth. Mesmerizing music by Howard Shore. He truly deserves all the academy award for his great Music..!! He defeated James Horner 2 Times in Academy awards. Only Titanic was the best of James Horner but Howard gave many good movies soundtrack.
a movie without music is not a movie
Best score in cinema history
As much as I love Newman’s Nemo score, Shore deserves this one
I actually thought fellowship of the ring was his best work
This must be one of them awards that anyone can say was 100% deserved....
When Nemo cane up I started sweating ngl
I love Nemo's score
As much as I recon Lord of the Rings was unbeatable, it baffles me that the Last Samurai didn't get a nomination in this
Ya not as great as LOTR but a strong second place in my books!
I wish I could go back in time
Annie Lenox is so happy that Howard got the oscar.
:) The orchestra director here is also the one for DWTS!!!
Howard score should win the nostalgia oscar
Really, it's a travesty he didn't win all three years in a row.
Wow the best ... Sting and Phil Collins together.
I would give him Oscar just for that charge of rohirrim background music
Then it was Jackson and Shore now its Nolan and Zimmer
Patrick Gogan There was also Spielberg & Williams
@@joewhitehead3 but also Cameron and horner
stuffs n junks Oh yes!
What a downgrade. Lol
@@evanus Except it isn't.
La mejor banda sonora de todos los tiempos
Esta es la mejor banda sonora de toda la historia del cine y que tiene una película un genio es este señor 👏🏻👏🏻
My favourite composer of all time
Howard Shore, you bow to no one
Best music of all time.
rest in peace James Horner :-(
Songs are beautiful
Thomas Newman should have won for Finding Nemo. And Phil Collins should have been nominated that night for Look Through My Eyes from Brother Bear
Why did the rest even show up.
What happened to pirates of the Caribbean?! That should have been nominated!
Too many composers on one movie I guess was its de-conclusion.
Danny Elfman
Gabriel Yard
Thomas Newman
James Horner
Howard Shore
I feel like Thomas Newman should've won but I neve watched the Lord of the rings
It is still missing Hans Zimmer for The Last samurai.
I don't know if you realise, but Pirates of the Caribbean for "He's a pirate" wasn't even nominalized...
A lot of the other nominees were good for the oscars this year, all categories, however, this one, no contest
Where is Pirates of the Caribbean?
Filmi film yapan müzikleridir. Sonuna kadar haketti.
Honest question: Was this score that different to the first two films?
what an easy night for the musicians in the pit - you only need to play 'lightning the beacons' 11 times and thats all
The other nominees knew they stould no chance that year
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such tough competition with Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.
If I had to pick one I would choose Star Wars (which is also more complex and diverse in terms of composition and orchestration) But I cant say that Lotr is behind Starwars when it comes to its function as film music. In this aspect LotR is genious, the story telling within the themes and the linking between the different pieces over 11 hours may be even greater than in star wars
Who are those people in the Academy that decides who the winner is? A list please.
Where in the feck is Hans zimmer’s nomination for pirates of the Caribbean?
The Soundtrack of first movie is of Klaus Badelt, Zimmer make the 2,3 and 4.
Because that score had a bunch of composers, which is not allowed.
Newman would have been great tbh
Would’ve voted for him
The name for this soundtrack
I love Sting, and i adore Phil Collins.
This music is majestic. I can´t say that it is worse than Mozart.
Not being nominee for The Two Towers was awful.
Feel bad for Nemo, it would have won in another year..
Who's the lady at 2:52 ?
Nobody
I wish I knew! She's the only reason why I watched this video, as she's in the thumbnail. She's a hostess for presenters and winners during the ceremony.
@@vincentmutel7313 Weirdo.
@@rabarebra Thanks.
2:27 who is she?
Howard Shore's score is brilliant, but I think Girl With A Pearl Earring by Alexandre Desplat should have been at least nominated
1:42
WHAT! Klaus Badelt wasn't even nominated for POTC!!
It's like five to six composers on that score. Hence why it didn't get nominated.
Almost feel bad for anyone who was nominated against LOTR… didn’t stand a chance.
Caaa ce sont des vrais musiciens. Ce n est pas les merdes d aujourd’hui mais moi je m appel wejden mdrrr
I personally think Hans Zimmer and John Williams are a step above Howard Shore overall, buthis score for Lotr is the best score I hace ever experienced. It's just not Middle Sarth without that beautiful music. That scene alone, when the Fellowship is walking up that cliff gives me goosebumps every single time!
Why wasn't Hans Zimmer even nominated?
The Angry Seal The list of schindler John williams
Ennio Moriccone on the once upon a time trilogy?
As much as i love LOTR musics this is debatable
Did he get one for two towers?
No
mr shore and his score is so good, but you have to acept that thomas newman and his apport to finding nemo is so amazing and beautiful (finding nemo had to had desserved the oscar) :)
Manny MUSIC99 Objectively, Shore deserves the oscar more than all the others. Listen the music.
Marshall No he doesn't!
we've found the only guy who has disliked this video
Cheese Prime Are you a little twelve year old upset that your mother isn’t giving you attention? Because that’s what you’re acting like. Thomas Newman is a good composer, no question. However, Howard Shore created such a diverse musical world, it’s truly a work of art.
Nemo's score was brilliant and Thomas Newman's a genius
Hans Zimmer didn't even get a nomination for The Last Samurai. Definitely one of the best soundtracks ever. This video showed me the bullshit of The Academy. Props to Shore, but none could stand to Zimmer that year.
Braille Text 😂😂👌🏽
a.a- definitely a great soundtrack AND movie for that year. But nah lotr deserved it.
Yep nop sorry! Lord of the Rings all the way! Best SCORE of all time in the history of cinematography!
The Lord of the Rings trilogy original composition, as a whole, is without a doubt the greatest musical achievement in cinematic history. Songs like Foundations of stone, lighting of the beacons & The bridge of Kazad dum, each alone, technically and emotively demolish everything Hans Zimmer has ever written.
Shupt up Zimmer fanboys. Howard shore was the best by far this year. LOTR music is the best in film history.
Finding Nemo should’ve won for it’s sad and touching music👎
Finding nemo is good.... but return of the king is epic..... capturing the right music for cavalry battle isn’t as easy as you might think
Finding Nemo should’ve won if The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King wasn't one of the rivals.
If Return of the King didn't come out the same year then Finding Nemo probably would've won. It's still an honor just to be nominated.
