Reason for Guaranteed being shutout in new EW

Short little article in Entertainment Weekly on both Ed and Greenwood being shutout for Oscars. Heres the Vedder part:
Vedders Into the Wild song, "Guaranteed", meanwhile, may have suffered since, according to Academy rules, Paramount Vantage had to send music-branch voters a video clip of its use in the movie. Problem is, the song only plays in its entirety over the end credits- its use in the film consists of several instances of Vedder humming. Then again, what chance did even the non-mumbled version have against Enchanted's deliberately hokey "Happy Working Song"?
What is with some people saying that he mumbles on songs?

And so you see, I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

Ed mumbles? Never hear that before
And that its only on the credits part... hmm sounds off to me because at the end of the movie right before the credits start, the last shot of Emile has the song over that if I'm not mistaken, maybe it was to short of a clip?
The Oscars suck anyway...."Without the album covers, where do you clean your pot?" - EV0 -

They say "the non-mumbled version", which makes me think that they're just confusing humming with mumbling.Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.0 -

It's the instrumental "Hard Sun" that plays at the end of the movie and over the first part of the credits...then "Guaranteed" comes on ....be philanthropic0 -

You are right.... thanks."Without the album covers, where do you clean your pot?" - EV0 -
i actually see the academys point there... the idea is kindof about how the song interacts and impacts the movie... if its not ACTUALLY in the movie then it seems kindof fair... i mean there were still plenty of incredible songs that couldve been considered by those standards tho... eddie knows people love his work either way... and if he is all upset about it then atleast he can understand there was reasoning behind the decision0

That is some really stupid reasoning. The song played throughout the movie, period. Humming or no humming, it was the same song and it was a large part of the films soundtrack. Though the award doesn't matter much, it's still pissing me off a bit.0

Havent seen the movie yet, but question: Is there any parts in the movie where any of the songs play in the background of a scene, or is it all in the end of the movie, a la Big Fish.And so you see, I have come to doubt

Most of the songs play throughout the movie. Everytime I hear Hard Sun, Long Nights, Society and No Ceiling specific parts of the movie come to mind...
I only saw it one time at the theater and I have pre-ordered the DVD but I wont get to see it til March ... its a wonderful movie and the music fits it perfectly....
The part where The Wolf plays is hauntin'.. the scenery is just so beautiful..."Without the album covers, where do you clean your pot?" - EV0 -
agreed! my favorite part of the movie! vedders voice literally ripped through me with the theater sound system! cant wait for that one on vinyl! especially since its extended!Mrs_Vedder78 wrote:The part where The Wolf plays is hauntin'.. the scenery is just so beautiful...0 -

No. There's no music whatsoever in the film, just 45 of minutes of songs playing over the credits.

Literally? Because if something literally ripped through you, you'd probably be dead. Good to hear you recovered.everybody wants the most they can possibly get

So "Man of the Hour" must not have been eligible either because it played over the credits.
To show how insane the Academy is, in the same Entertainment Weekly there is an article explaining how stupid the Academy is in dealing with the Best Foreign Language Film and it says a country can only have one movie nominated. What if there are two fantastic movies from the same country? Doesn't matter because only one will have a chance to win.
I agree with the other poster who said the Oscars are a joke, and not just because Ed wasn't nominated. I have thought this for years because in Entertainment Weekly (I subscribe, can you tell?), they always have a roundtable with a producer, actor, screenwriter, etc. and they tell who they are voting for the major categories. No names are given so they are honest. Read that when it comes out this year and you will see how much of a joke the Oscars are. Much of their reasoning comes from whether they think people should have gotten Oscars previous years. They will also mention a young actor will have plenty of time (tell that to Heath Ledger). Sometimes they will say they didn't even see one or more of the movies so they totally take that nomination out of consideration."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
But they did get it right in terms of nominating Hal Holbrook for BSA...which he really deserved...be philanthropic0

Isn't Eddie the one that said that awards doesn't mean anything? (Grammy speech for STBC)It's okay, It's okay
You don't have to run and hide away
It's okay, it's okay

I think he was referring to the Grammy and prolly didn't expect PJ to win - hence not knowing what to say...But he's certainly not that person anymore, so he probably would accept something such as an Ocsar (or even a grammy this year) as graciously as he has accepted other award more recently...Don't hold him to things he said when he was young and unaccepting of hype...be philanthropic0

I agree that he is in a different space now and would probably graciously accept these days, however, the Grammy people might still hold a grudge.0 -
