An arbitrary group of songs unessential to the storyline will not be considered eligible." Winners and nominees Each of these songs must be substantively rendered, clearly audible, intelligible, and must further the storyline of the motion picture. Īccording to the rules, the Best Original Musical is defined as this: " An original musical consists of not fewer than five original songs by the same writer or team of writers, either used as voiceovers or visually performed. The Music Branch Executive Committee of the Academy decides whether there are enough quality submissions to justify its activation. It has never been awarded in its present form due to a prolonged drought of films meeting the sufficient eligibility requirements. The Academy Award for Best Original Musical is a category that was re-established in 2000 after the Best Original Musical or Comedy Score category was retired. This change proved unpopular in the other branches of the Academy as Charles Bernstein, chairman of the Academy's rules committee, noted that "no other Oscar category depended on a film's genre" and "the job of composing an underscore for a romantic comedy is not substantially different from working on a heavy drama." This split was reverted in 2000. There's a big difference." The category was therefore split into Best Original Dramatic Score and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score in 1996. So when a score like The Lion King is competing against a drama like Forrest Gump, it's apples and oranges – not in the quality of the score, but in the way it functions in the movie. We felt that Academy members outside the music branch didn't distinguish between the two. As Alan Bergman, the chairman of the Academy's music branch said, "People were voting for the songs, not the underscores. Best Original Musical or Comedy Score ( 1996– 1999)įollowing the wins of four Walt Disney Feature Animation films in six years from 1990 to 1995 ( The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King) during a period called the Disney Renaissance, it was decided to once again split the Best Original Score category by genres, this time by combining comedies and musicals together.Best Original Song Score or Adaptation Score ( 1984).Best Original Song Score and Its Adaptation -or- Adaptation Score ( 1980, 1983).Best Original Song Score and Its Adaptation or Adaptation Score ( 1977– 1978).Best Scoring: Original Song Score and Adaptation -or- Scoring: Adaptation ( 1974– 1976).Best Scoring: Adaptation and Original Song Score ( 1972– 1973).Best Score of a Musical Picture-original or adaptation ( 1969– 1970).Best Scoring of Music-adaptation or treatment ( 1963– 1968).Best Scoring of a Musical Picture ( 1942– 1962).Best Original Score-for a motion picture ( 1969– 1970).Best Original Music Score ( 1967– 1968).Best Music Score-substantially original ( 1963– 1966).Best Music Score of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture ( 1943– 1962).Best Music Score of a Dramatic Picture ( 1942).During that time, both categories had many name changes: From 1942 to 1985, musical scores had their own category, with the exception of 1958, 19. This marked the first time the category was split into separate genres, a distinction that technically still lasts today, although there haven't been enough submissions for the musical category to be activated since 1985. In 1942, the distinction between the two Scoring categories changed slightly as they were renamed to Best Music Score of a Dramatic Picture and Best Scoring of a Musical Picture. Following the controversial win of Charles Previn for One Hundred Men and a Girl in 1938, a film without a credited composer that featured pre-existing classical music, the Academy added a Best Original Score category in 1939. At the time, winners and nominees were a mix of original scores and adaptations of pre-existing material. The category was originally called Best Scoring. The Academy began awarding movies for their scores in 1935. 2 Academy Award for Best Original Musical.
