Yes indeed, as this short but sweet missive from Variety confirms:
Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard are back in contention for an Oscar nom.
The Music Branch Executive Committee of the Academy has 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.
-Great news...what do you think of its Oscar chances?

Wooohoooo! As a huge fan of the score, I'm thrilled that it's back in play. I can't say for its chances at getting the nod, though it definitely deserves it.
ReplyDeleteit should make the cut, but not a frontrunner by any stretch at the moment
ReplyDeleteZimmer and Howard are great composers. I think a nomination in this category is likely for TDK.

A functional but in no way brilliant score, will probably ride on the coat tails of the superior film though.
