| and I can't believe Penelope Cruz got an Oscar nomination for Carla. Plus they cut out Be on Your Own for some dumb reason and added a non-memorable song. If they were going to nominate somebody for supporting actress I think Nicole Kidman deserved it . I thought she did ok with Unusual Way and her other scenes. Marion Cotillard was good but they pushed her for Lead Actress thinking they would make room in supporting but it backfired on them. |

| I couldn't get past the major miscasting of Daniel Day-Lewis as Guido Contini. As for cutting ''Be on Your Own,'' I imagine they wanted Yeston to write a new number for Luisa that could be Oscar-eligible. So you wound up with the stripteasy (and dreary) ''Take It All,'' which actually did get an Oscar nomination for Best Song. I thought the Academy should've nominated another new song instead: ''Cinema Italiiano,'' which was livelier and more fun. |

| Just for the hell of it, I threw the soundtrack into my phone and I do actually listen to some it now and then. The orchestration under Penelope Cruz doing "A Call From The Vatican" is pretty thrilling. I find "Take it All" to be a fine song on its own out of context, but, of course, it pales in comparison to "Be On Your Own" in context. I always find I like the idea of "Cinema Italiano," but tire of it before it finishes. | |

| Eh, i find that song to not only be forced in (in a re-write of the Press character that doesn't help the themes and conflict of the story), but musically lazy and lyrically awkward in many spots. I definitely don't think it deserved an Oscar nod. It's also staged in seemingly the only way Rob Marshall can conceive of a musical number in a movie... it's so unimaginative and tiresome. Same for "Take It All". | |
