"In a reflection of the lack of heavyweight pictures and performances favored for potential Academy Award nominations, the National Board spread around its awards to a number of movies and actors. Tim Burton was named Best Director for Sweeney Todd"

Thank you. I was originally skeptical about Depp's singing voice but he was quite decent with Priest but I believe there are some lyrics missing in this one.

That would be so great if Burton won, it's really about time.

There were but it's because I don't think they wanna give away that much from the movie.

The opening credit sequence of Sweeney Todd. Quite stylistic, looks great.

This was listed on rottentomatoes as a good review.... it seems bad to me..


Director Tim Burton’s screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s 1979 Grand Guignol musical is at once mesmerizing and disappointing. Outstanding singing performances from its gifted ensemble cast contrast unfavorably with Burton’s trademark affinity for a drab monochromatic color scheme of white, blue, brown and gray. Gallons of orange/red blood pour out beneath thankfully abbreviated songs performed in all-too-predictable orchestrations meant to cater to Broadway audiences familiar with the original Sondheim production. For such an idyllic gothic setting, Burton misses his cue to update the songs with orchestration, reharmonization, tempo, and key changes that could have corrected the music’s tendency to slip into a drone of same-sounding pitches.
