'The Boy and the Heron' | Scene at The Academy 

How the hell are you going to release this amazing interview with the maestro and not nominate him for best original score? Its laughable

Still can't believe this wasn't nominated for score

Its so insane and honestly insulting he wasn’t nominated for best original score

Should have also been nominated for Best Original Score and Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture

"Music shouldn't be explaining" "No matter how many times I'm reborn, I'd still want to become a composer again." He's not just a legend. He is the greatest composer alive and one of the greatest in history. I realized it on the moment, when on every theme played - from "Ask me Why" to "Collapse", I teared up and cried with pure joy. Every single piece of his work, especially in The Boy and the Heron, really deepens the perception of not just what you feel about the Miyazaki-sensei work, but of what you feel about your true self, that just took a deep breath full of live inside you. 久石先生、素晴らしい仕事をしていただき本当にありがとうございました

It is truly a shame his nomination was overlooked, but I'm thankful the Academy put out this genuinely insightful look into the score! This is one of Hisaishi's most distinct and personal scores and it's deserving of so much praise.

Good news The Boy and the Heron is the OFFICIAL WINNER of the 2024 Oscars for best animated feature this year!!

I truly believe that this man is the greatest composer alive right now, and it is just so beautiful to see him work with a talented director just as talented as him. His music is so profound, beautiful and enchanting, and portrays the nature and the human nature of this world. It truly makes me devastated that Hisaishi didn’t get the Golden Globe award for best composer, and now he isn’t even nominated for the Oscar award!! This is ridiculous… because this man should have gotten it a decade ago. ❤ 🥇

The Academy doesn't control who gets nominated, it's up to the volume of preliminary votes. This might be the Academy's gesture of recognition for a person who they feel was equally deserving for a nomination. My guess - sometime in the future Joe Hisaishi may get his own honorary Oscar. They gave one to Ennio Morricone, I wouldn't be surprised to see this wonderful composer also get one.

In my opinión, the Best soundtrack i heard in the entire year

This should win best animated film. But it should've also been nominated for original screenplay, picture, & score.

Give him Honorary Award please

素晴しいインタビュー！Ask me whyは聞いていて泣きたくなるような名曲。

Just saw the film the other day! It was my first ghibli film in cinemas and first trip to the theaters since the pandemic. It was such an experience!

Hayao Miyazaki is the greatest animation filmmaker.

What an insightful interview. He seems like a cool guy, and his music is such a powerful part of the Ghibli “feels.” This score is one of his best I think

This movie definitely needs the Oscar to best animated movie.

"I leave the rest up to you." Genius vs Genius.

HISAISHI san, you are absolutely genius. Your melody and harmony are unparalleled.

He’s a legend! I love his works so much ✨

The Boy and the Heron won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature 😃🎉🎊!!!!

One Summer’s Day and Merry Go Round of Life are iconic theme songs from this master composer. I love his works including this.

I just arrived from the Theater a couple of hours ago…. Just… thinking. The score in this film belongs to another world. How it blends with the silence of the film. It just…. Makes me think. This music makes me think of the Sea. The Shores. I’ll take the obvious out of the way and say this: This movie deserved to run for much More than a single poor nomination. I could feel every background, the opening sequences, the voice acting, the character designs, the beautiful story …. The photography direction, Sound edition and effects were so taken care of…. And the cinematography. I could feel it all and it overwhelmed me time and time again. To be honest, I’m still taking it all in. I felt as if…. This director took his audience very seriously. So many years of hard work, so much talent poured into this. Thank god the album is on streaming services. I’ll be buying it no doubt. Along with the Book the film is based on. This is the second work I listen from Hisaishi after Ni No Kuni (2011). I’m blown away. What an experience.

Magnificent soundtrack. I listen to it everyday ❤such a shame it was not nominated

Watching this video, I realized he doesn’t really care about prizes. He is absolutely enjoying the process of creating his original music, he knows how. I thought he is genius when he talks about his music should not be the explanation of each scenes, His music should give us imaginations, so he makes music to keeps a little distance from scenes to not sounds like the sound affects.

the oscar... what a joke. Probably the best composer alive and one of the best who ever lived and still no nomination or oscar in 40 years... shame on you all.

academy im inside your walls THIS MOVIE HAS TO WIN /hj

Denle un Oscar Honorífico por toda su contribución a la música cinematográfica.

Good luck at the oscars boy and the heron and mr miyazaki. Hope you win 🙌🙌🙏🙏🥰

He finally got his journey since he started to work with Hayao Miyazaki. Love your work Joe.

I saw this masterpiece thrice in theatres!!! And that Studio Ghibli masterpiece totally MUST WIN that Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, this mid March!!! BIG TIME!!! Would you fans agree?!?!

He is a treasure. His music is one and only.

7:42 savage lol he's calling them out

HISASHI先生いつもありがとうございます、先生の音楽でGhibliの映画は素敵になります❤

Finally you did for boy and the heron

Joe Hisaishi and Hayao Miyazaki. Two masters of animated movies. Second to none.

"... by the evening, new music has been born into the world" ❤

This was better than anything that was nominated this year

Glad to see this anime film getting an Oscar nomination.

How Do You Live is what I will always call it.

This is the best animated feature film of the year. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is overrated.

Прекрасное аниме и прекрасная музыка, спасибо Вам за этот мультфильм!!!

Why wasn’t this nominated for score???

Cool! The Boy and heron gets the best score huh? Wait, where's the nomination??

Joe Hisaishi is a great master of his art, as much as Miyazaki.

The legendary Joe Hisaishi! I’ve listened to the album countless times at this point

Felicidades, ganaron él premio Oscar 😊

Wow 😲! This interview was so insightful ❤

He deserves an Oscar !

This to me proves that true artists will never be replaced by AI. AI cannot understand the joy of creating something out of nothing, it is really just a mindless machine.

Joe Hisaishi …. one of the most brilliant composers of this lifetime ! ❤

Congratulations for the bafta win boy and the heron 🎉🎉

This is one of the best original score the streaks of violin in those breath taking scenes is too iconic

Even when you leave Miyazaki’s films aside. This man should’ve been nominated for Departures (2008). What a missed opportunity, way overdue.

Won't even bother watching the show this year. Just here to watch the gorgeous animation and the Joe Hisaishi interview, who, by the way, wasn't even nominated for best score.

learned something7:38 I always thought that effect music would improve the quality of the work, but there is another way in this world. Sometimes not giving explanations and leaving room for audience can lead to a good movie. I'm an audience poisoned by Darth Vader's explanations.

2:13 still the best start to a ghibli movie

how no music nomination

I wish one of Makoto Shinkai's films was also nominated.

How dare you showing us Joe Hisaishi without him getting even nominated 😢

Congratulations:)))

To watch this beautiful interview by the Academy and then find out Joe Hisiashi has not been recognized by the Oscars even once is astounding. We're talking about one of Japan's most decorated composers and one of today's most influential musicians.

Nice to hear a different view to how music compliments the movie, but he doesn’t want the music to tell you how you should feel. Also it is reassuring to hear that great artists don’t always know what to do but they just work hard until they make something they like.

わくわく！！！

not them posting this and not giving him a nomination, absolutely criminal

I just realized mahito heavily reminds of *Shawn* from _The Secret World of Arrietty..._ His voice was so breezy and beautiful! I love that movie soo much especially with its hearttouching theme song!! 3:09pm 13.3.2024

The piano sounds beautiful and the violin seems elegantly adventurous. 4:45 this animation of the crane was so incredibly fluid and 4:49 these ladies reminded of *_Princess Mononoke!_* 5:25 this whole scene reminds of beloved *_The Secret World of Arrietty!_* I need to watch *The Boy and the Heron* soon in English! 3:00pm 13.3.2024

Tensai 🫶

Why this isn't nominated for best original score? Music branch, you should have been fired as a voter.

Such beauty

That piece is a birthday background music!.... That explain a lot to me.

❤❤❤💯✨ deserving win for sure 💯🌟

Oh my god I didn’t realize Joe Hisaishi’s age... wow this legend.

It would be nice to have english subtitles for this since it's Oscars channel. I don't have this option.

何度生まれ変わっても。。美しいことです。

Very smart of the Academy to show off what an amazing composer Joe Hisaishi is without nominating him, because that would mean they would have to admit animated films are real movies and not defined as one genre, so let's give DIAL OF DESTINY that nomination INSTEAD of this or freakin' Across the Spider-Verse

Make Ghibli great again !!

How can you not nominate Maestro Hisaishi?

今までのジブリ音楽の中で個人的に一番素晴らしい久石譲の仕事だった。 ミニマル追求するあたり、実際会っていたテリー・ライリーの影響もあるのかな。 私も映画や舞台の派手な音楽はただ作曲家が目立ちたいだけな感じがして好まない。

良く出来たインタビュー。

English subtitles please!! Not all of us speak fluent Japanese

Imaginebhaving the audacity to interview a genuis like Joe Hisaishi for the official Oscars YT and not nominate him for this film What a joke

FINALLYYYY

Eu entendi perfeitamente o que ele quis dizer com a música que explica o filme! Tem uma cena de briga entre Mahito e outros meninos em uma colina, e mesmo com eles se esmurrando a música não mudava o seu tom e eu genuinamente esperava que a trilha se tornasse mais sombria ou energética, mas me surpreendi quando se manteve intacta.

A master.

7:38

You're the Goat even tho you didn't get this one be proud 😊

The Boy and The Heron Snubbed😢💔

Hilarious - Hayao Miyazaki has been making incredible films for 40+ years and yet the clueless at the Academy are behaving as if they just discovered him. Def a "quick throw him a bone before he dies" award.

Where is the nomination for Joe ? 😢

La colombiana se pondrá muy polémica con lo del Niño y La Garza

Good luck at the annies awards boy and the heron🙏

Genius

I wish I could understand Ghibli films in their original language

久石譲は過去にアカデミー賞にノミネートされたこともないんですかね？　過去のジブリ作品への貢献も含めて特別賞を受けてるのに値するような気が。

English subtitles please !

日本の宝

I'll be honest Spider-Verse film is cringe and plot and everything is plain and obvious which is not something new except visual aspective. Boy and the Heron deserves an Oscar and deep of storytelling is uncomparable to that spider film.

Such a mastepiece!

Teşekkürler
