Soundtrack pre-order. Interesting that they are adding dialogue to the orchestral tracks. Assuming that one of these songs will end up being a frontrunner for the Best Song Oscar.

Interesting that they are using "Over the Rainbow". I would have loved to have seen "The Man that Got Away" and "Evergreen" on the list.

so many songs! Wow

[ggersten]

Posted: 8/30/18 at 6:03pm

Either, this is going to be nearly sung-through - or there are just going to be snippets of most of those songs.  Hard to tell if "dialogue" means just dialogue or a song with dialogue added or spoken over the song.  

I'm counting 19 songs without "dialogue".  That's probably at least an hour of songs.

I think there is alot of possibility there. She has a gap in her Vegas residency from February to May of next year.. The producers could be waiting to see how she is in A Star Is Born but have given her a temporary offer. She could win three Oscars essentially, Score, Song and Actress. I would love for that to happen. I am seeing this at TIFF on September 14, and I will be sure to report back.

How is she getting Oscar buzz?  Has anyone actually seen her acting in the trailer...

Agreed. I also thought Cooper’s singing (and acting) was much more nuanced than hers based on the trailer. I want this to be good, but I’m in the minority here as the trailer did not blow me away. Will be interesting to see what early reviews from Venice say.

There's already been a large group of people who have seen the film from Spielberg, Sean Penn, Barbara, and mostly critics/fans for early test screenings.

Unjudge, because you're in for a BIG surprise, music wise.

I love Gaga but if she receives an Oscar over Glenn Close I will not be a happy camper.

I think there is alot of possibility there. She has a gap in her Vegas residency from February to May of next year.. The producers could be waiting to see how she is in A Star Is Born but have given her a temporary offer. She could win three Oscars essentially, Score, Song and Actress. I would love for that to happen. I am seeing this at TIFF on September 14, and I will be sure to report back."

I love Gaga but if she receives an Oscar over Glenn Close I will not be a happy camper."

Glenn Close is giving a wonderful performance, but we haven't seen Gaga's performance yet and it could be better than Close's. Theres also stiff competition from Viola Davis coming in.

I haven't seen The Wife (which is the performance of Close's that many posters are alluding to), but is she still a primary contender for Best Actress?

Besides that, I am also SUPER excited for this film!!! That first trailer blew me away on an emotional and spiritual level not seen since Moonlight, which was just as transfixing. And hey, who knew Bradley Cooper could sing...and act...and direct...and play guitar???

That might be a little too much in terms of "heavy praise", but hey, I'm game!!!

the wikipedia page says that track is dialogue, not sure we’ll hear her sing it. it would have been a fun nod to the former adaptations if she recorded those other songs!

as for oscar buzz, i’d be happy if she won for Best Song. she’s been a little wooden acting-wise in the past but i have high hopes for this film. hopefully it will be her Moonstruck and NOT her Crossroads!

There's already been a large group of people who have seen the film from Spielberg, Sean Penn, Barbara, and mostly critics/fans for early test screenings.

My favorite was Barbra's reaction to the remake in a Hollywood Reporter podcast recently: "It's like mine."

Pardon my ignorance, but I truly can't tell from the trailer and I've never seen the other versions, but is this particular film a musical in the traditional sense, or is it something like "Walk the Line" or "Almost Famous?"

Very promising first reviews.

I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not.
