| From Variety's Clayton Davis: Some on social media have wondered how the adaptation of the Broadway musical “Wicked” was eligible for Original Score, especially considering the controversy of Hans Zimmer’s “Dune: Part Two” being deemed ineligible. The Academy’s rules stipulate that a score must comprise at least 35% of the film’s total music. With “Wicked” clocking in at 160 minutes, it required 56 minutes of original music. The film’s 11 songs total approximately 54 minutes, leaving plenty of room for Stephen Schwartz and John Powell’s score to qualify and make a lasting impression. Also, I’m sure being a legacy name that includes Schwartz’s nine prior nominations and three wins also played a role in swaying voters. |
