Marc Shaiman To Be Oscars’ Music Director – Deadline.com

Beverly Hills, CA Oscar®-nominated composer Marc Shaiman will serve as music director for the 82nd Academy Awards, telecast producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic announced today.

With Marc on board, we are sure to have some great musical and, hopefully, hysterical moments, said Mechanic.

Marc was my inspiration and musical partner on Hairspray and he has been responsible for some of the most memorable moments in Oscar history, like Will Ferrell and Jack Blacks comedy numbers, said Shankman. Hes a genius! And hed be the first to tell you!

Shaiman is a prolific music composer who has earned five Academy Award® nominations. He received Original Score nominations for his work on The American President (1995), The First Wives Club (1996) and Patch Adams (1998), and he received nominations in the Original Song category for A Wink and a Smile from Sleepless in Seattle (1993) and for Blame Canada from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999). Shaiman has also been nominated for four Emmy® Awards, three of which were for his work on Oscar telecasts. He won the Emmy in 1992 for co-writing Billy Crystal's "Oscar Medley" for the 64th Academy Awards. Shaimans other film credits include The Bucket List, Bee Movie, Hairspray, A Few Good Men, Sister Act and City Slickers.

Damit sind die oscars musikalisch wie immer in guten händen. Mal sehen ob er wieder die ein oder andere abgedrehte musical-nummer beisteuert.

Das ist mal wieder eine gute Nachricht. Finde ich wirklich gut udn wäre toll, wenn er wieder so ne kleine Musical-Einlage einbauen würde.

[Csongor]

Großartig! Freue mich sehr über diese Entscheidung. Jetzt brauchen wir nur noch einen guten Präsentator

[Gast Prinz]

Schade, ich hatte gehofft, Conti würde das wieder mal machen.

[Siddl]

Lol, Shaiman nach Conti und Giacchino ... da bin ich gespannt

Na die Moderatoren stehen ja schon fest; Alec Baldwin und Steve Martin treten nun in Jackman's Fußstapfen.

Ich wünsch mir den Crystal mal wieder

[Csongor]

Mir hat Steve Martin auch immer ganz gut gefallen. Die haben immer die 3 Top Moderatoren: Billy Crystal, Whoopy Goldberg und Steve Martin gefallen.
