Heh, they must have realized the error of their ways, because alas nowadays the
official site lists that category as:
"Achievement in music in connection with motion pictures (
Original score)"
Not only
that, but they also fought a valiant battle in the 50s and 60s with names and titles, until they reached in 1968 the correct form of:
"MUSIC (Original Score--for a motion picture [not a musical])" and
"MUSIC (Score of a Musical Picture--original or adaptation)".
Those bastards, huh? :lol:
Salutari,
