      @@MephProduction True, and considerably less true in 1993, but I'll remind you that underrating is done by raters, so if you want to refute an assertion that D.Elfman doesn't get credit he deserves, you'll need to offer something more conclusive than possible, alternative reasons why he might not have received an award that he, nevertheless, did not receive. On the other hand, if you're just another of that sort of Internet troll that pisses on prevailing sentiments to draw attention to him/herself, I'll encourage you to make good use of an opportunity to skip it this time. With me there's no disguising that tired shtick.

    Elfman also wanted to be a director and screenwriter. Wrote three movie scripts, two of them musicals which he had recorded the song demos for (look up “Little Demons” and “The World of Jimmy Callicut”). Sadly they never got finished because of studio budget cuts or whatever.

    While I appreciate his talent, I think its unfortunate that he mentions, "A Band he was in at the time, " but fails to mention them. His music has been always stunning, but in some interviews, Danny mentions being what could be said as embarrassed about his past. My personal understanding is that he may only be prideful of all material after OB... If that's the case, that's unfortunate. We need to be mindful of our roots and we do the victories.
