114 Original Scores from 2013 Films Advance in the Oscar Race

The Great Gatsby New Poster and Trailer114 original scores have moved forward and remain eligible to be nominated in the 2014 Oscar Original Score category. In order to be considered, each of the scores “must be a substantial body of music that serves as original dramatic underscoring, and must be written specifically for the motion picture by the submitting composer.” The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also requires all of the scores to be part of feature-length films released in 2013 and they can not be “diluted by the use of tracked themes or other preexisting music, diminished in impact by the predominant use of songs, or assembled from the music of more than one composer.”
 
The members of the Music Branch of the Academy will consider these scores and cast their votes for no more than five to receive nominations in the Best Score category when the 86th Academy Awards® nominations are announced on Thursday, January 16, 2014.
