Sunshine 0 Posted February 28, 2005 After Morgan Freeman won his Oscar, as he was exiting the stage and they went to commercial, the orchestra played the theme to TNG...it was so awesome!!! It was kinda weird at first, but I guess TNG was 4 movies in addition to being a tv show, so I guess its fitting...and maybe someone behind the scenes is a ST fan! Wonderful props to TNG! :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted February 28, 2005 I noticed it too. It was beautifully done. However, sunshine, the TNG theme was from TMP first, since Roddenberry liked it so much. But it was a good rendition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted February 28, 2005 That is great. I wish I could have watched it. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted February 28, 2005 They played it at the right tempo, not quickly like TNG does, but not quite as slow as the movies have it. Sorta slow, but not too slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack_Bauer 1 Posted February 28, 2005 I noticed it and it was cool. I wish they played more of it before it was cut off by the commercials. Â This year didn't matter as much to me (I didn't see most of the films) but The Incredibles won best animated feature, so I'm happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Â The winners this are: Morgan Freeman for Supporting Actor, Cate Blanchett for Supporting Actress, Hilary Swank Best Actress, and Jamie Foxx for Best Actor. :P :biggrin: :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted February 28, 2005 I was expecting either The Aviator or Ray to win best picture, so Million Dollar Baby must be either really good, or really bad, but the snooty judges liked it :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted February 28, 2005 I am glad that Jamie Foxx got Best Actor. His performance as Ray Charles was the best IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayTroi 0 Posted February 28, 2005 I noticed this too. I also thought that it was weird!!!!! Star Trek : TNG theme song performed at the Oscars, that was AWESOME. :) :) :) :) :P :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yillara Skye 1 Posted February 28, 2005 I am glad that Jamie Foxx got Best Actor. His performance as Ray Charles was the best IMO. 306560[/snapback] From all I have seen of the clips and stuff from Ray.. I SOOOOO want to see this movie!!!I am thrilled to see he won for best actor.. He looks and sounds so much like Ray Charles it is pretty eerie.    And yeah.. I definately heard the Trek music(whether you count it as the TNG or the TMP theme, it matters not). Matter of fact, it caught me by surprise because I stood there at the tv, mouth hanging open and I dropped what I was holding. My mom goes, "Hey... *looks over at me* Well, nevermind you know what is playing :) "  She also went to point out but stopped when she noticed me smiling.. when they were playing "Beyond The Sea"   I also, save for the love song from Shrek2, adored all of the performances and songs that were nominated. :) .

Matt 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Just heard the TNG theme tune, glad to see we're finally invading the Oscars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina 0 Posted March 2, 2005 I noticed it and FLIPPED THE HECK OUT Â Sorry ,but i did.But remeber it was the theme to St:TMP first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted March 2, 2005 It's about time the academy recognized Star Trek. They had been playing Star Wars themes for years. I think unless you have a full orchestra, the Star Trek theme doesn't sound right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of all things to miss! It would have been so cool to hear them play the TMP theme music.  And Jack... LOVED THE INCREDIBLES!!! It was my favorite movie this whole year! I too, am very happy that they won. Can't wait to buy the DVD when it comes out later this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q stole my bike 0 Posted March 2, 2005 I heard it. It made me so excited. I was acctually kind of disappointed, really expected Patrick Stewart to make some type of apperance. How could they decieve me like that? Â Aw, nevermind, it was amazing anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina 0 Posted March 2, 2005 I know i was hoping for at least levar Burton  but i am still annoyed that Team America was not nominated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) but i think the SW was nominated for an Oscar ..the TNG theme was not 306881[/snapback] Yep. As far as I remember that was the case. Â Also, remember that Jerry Goldsmith passed on recently, and he was included in the segment "In Memoriam" (so another reference to Trek). It was sad to see how many people passed on, but the presentation was beautiful with Yo-yo Ma playing the background music. :) Edited March 2, 2005 by Yillara_Soong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
