blueshadows Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The thread about the Grammys me wonder if Ordinary World has any chance at an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. It might be hard to win due to competition from Moana (co-written by Hamilton's Lin Manuel Miranda who is deservingly a media and critic darling) but a nomination would be amazing. To be considered they would have to be some campaigning needed though. Ordinary World is a great song so to have some recognition would be for sure deserving.

Alan86 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Does it still count as an original song since it appeared on Revolution Radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End Of The World Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 It would be difficult. And IMO Ordinary World (the song, I mean) it's not so good to win an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree I mean I like the song, but nominated for an oscar I don't think we should worry if they get awards or not imo second thread in a row I notice concerns for this stuff.

moonflower93 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 ordinary world (movie) is more indie so slim to none chance of it even being NOMINATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 We've had a Nobel prize thread, Grammy thread, now Oscars...all of these are either unlikely or downright impossible.

Billie Hoe Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 It would be really cool but it's just not realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Isn't big enough of a film for it. Could be the greatest song of all time but to have a chance it would have to be in a notable film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not post this I'm the existing Grammy thread? You even mentioned the thread in your post. I was about to post about the Oakland underground party which at least 9 were killed and I decided it was not enough Green Day related for the main forum so I put it in RGDN. All I'm saying is maybe analyze if a thread should be created or not. I don't personally think we need a Grammy thread for each song. But hey, that's just me. It's true that whether something could fit in an existing thread should be considered so it is good advice to do that before you make one, but it's not a big deal if there's one about something more specific from time to time even if it could've fit in an existing one either. In any case if the mod team thinks it really should've been in an existing thread we can merge it with it. We don't want to put people off making new threads so we tend to think it's better to say go ahead and make one if you want and don't worry about it.

Christian's Inferno! Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well a song has to be good to be nominated for, let alone win an award. Ordinary World is not. It's mediocre as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was written for the film then released on the album afterwards, so probably would be eligible. The chances of it even being nominated, let alone winning, are neglibible though - it's a tiny independent film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think like Ordinary World is just a try to re-make it. That one could win the Oscar, because it's so deep and original... My problem with OW is it's trying to recreate an acoustic song like Good Riddance and a perfect closer like Whatsername after a 7+ minute epic, which seems like an attempt to get some success (Not saying that's what GD is doing, this song just makes it look like that's what they're doing). But it failed because GR and Whatsername and both miles better and GR isn't even one of my favourite songs. I was kinda worried about the album when I found out that OW was gonna be on the album. Luckily it's the only bad song on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End Of The World Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'm not saying that Ordinary World is a bad song. I just think that it lives in the shadow of a famous masterpiece. I agree with MysticManiac about Forever Now. It should have been the closer. I always feel satisfied after listening to the 11 songs on the album. I'd have put it between TT and FN (closer).
