LOL, kinda too bad. It would have been the most random nom of the past 15-20 years...

I'm hyperventilating. THEY RESCINDED THE NOMINATION. I can't. This saga is like the greatest thing that's ever happened in Oscar history.

But they'll sure as hell face my wrath for ensuring Legend Joni never performs on an Oscar stage. Hell naw.

So what is acceptable promotion then of a nominee since Harvey seems to really push his films to everyone?

I think the problem was that the guy actually held a position within the Academy's music branch...

A couple of times. Aside from some foreign films and documentary films, the last film to have a nomination rescinded was Godfather for Original Score because the music was featured in a 1958 film called Fortunella. Sleuth was the replacement nomination in that category.

Quote:
The haunting score for the the crime family epic was originally nominated, but ended up not being included among the final contenders after it was learned that Rota had used part of the theme in the 1958 comedy Fortunella. The nomination was not technically revoked, however. The music branch hosted a revote, which included The Godfather score and five other finalists: Ben, Fellini’s Roma, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, The Other, and Sleuth. Rota didn’t make the cut after this second ballot. Rota did get a nomination — and won — for The Godfather II two years later. The Academy does not consider the original nod an “official” nomination, and so did not include it when asked about past bids that were revoked.

I don't understand why they're not nominating the next highest vote getter.

Apparently an anonymous party hired a private investigator to look into how it got nominated.

The ballots are out and lots of members voted already? It would be a hassle to get them to vote again. And quite probably the replacement nominee wouldn't win anyway.

Sorry for the new thread; I assume someone would start a new one and didn't check this one first.

P!nk has been asked to perform. Is she going to perform one of these songs though? Are the songs gonna be performed at all or will they skip them again?

Idina Menzel is singing "Let It Go" at least.

Pharrell, Idina Menzel and Karen O. have all been confirmed as performing. I think U2 might have been as well but not positive.

U2 is performing.

I'm still mourning the loss of a Queen Joni performance. What could have been.
