‘Dark Knight’ Score Has Its Oscar Eligibility Restored
From Variety.com
“Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard are back in contention for an Oscar nom.
The Music Branch Executive Committee of the Academy reversed its Nov. 10 decision declaring their score for “the Dark Knight” ineligible for the 2008 Academy Awards. The score was disqualified due to five names being listed as composers on the music cue sheet.
After reviewing information submitted by the affected parties, the committee concluded that two Zimmer and Howard were responsible for the score’s authorship.
Neither nomination ballots nor lists of eligible scores had been distributed so there is no impact on the actual voting process. “
Yeah!!!! My favourite Score of the Year!
yes, that are great news!:D
My wish came true, because its one of my favorite scores, so i guess that this was the right decission of the academy;-)
Way to go Hans and James! Cant wait for the nomintation and hope for the win. Amazing music.
I think the guys at the Academy realized they would probably have to go into hiding if they didn’t allow the film to be nominated. Way to lead the way and progress film composing to the next leve
