Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

By the way, isn't the Jai Ho case another example of how this branch bend the rules. No matter how I rooted for it to win even before the nominations, I think I read somewhere that it wasn't composed for the film. Instead, It was originally written for the film Yuwraaj but its producer rejected it....

FYI: the Santaolalla piece was an original composition, previously performed and recorded, before it was ever utilized for movie scores. I know, Iguazu.

I loved Nielsen's sense of humor in all of his movies, even all three Naked Gun movies (yes, all three). It's a shame there weren't more mainstream vehicles recently that could take full advantage of his style of humor outside of Scary Movie 3 and 4. And, of course, Airplane, which will always be o...

You know, this is one of the few celebrities that I've had the pleasure of meeting in real life and let me tell you, he is a very kind, very nice guy who goes out of his way to talk to anyone who wants to talk to him on a personal level. He's a genuinely nice guy, he's had a great career and I'm gl...

Okay, because I'm always curious as to how this is going to look before they announce the contenders, I've gone through the current releases as well as any songs that have been announced. So, of course, this list isn't complete, but it's what I've compiled as to songs that were originally written (...
