The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has issued a statement regarding the decision to rescind the nomination for the song Alone Yet Not Alone from the movie of the same title:
The Board of Governors’ decision to rescind the Original Song nomination for “Alone Yet Not Alone,” music by Bruce Broughton, was made thoughtfully and after careful consideration. The Academy takes very seriously anything that undermines the integrity of the Oscars® voting process. The Board regretfully concluded that Mr. Broughton’s actions did precisely that.
