The Dark Knight has been disqualified from the race for the Original Music Score Oscar. After four hours of discussing the matter, the executive committee of the Academy music branch non-unanimously deemed the score, which was technically only co-composed by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard yet which credited three others on sheet music for royalty purposes, ineligible on account of the inclusion of these partial collaborators.
Michael Moore claims his Fahrenheit 9/11 follow-up (once titled Fahrenheit 9/11 and a 1/2) has become less like a sequel to that film and more like “a bookend to Roger & Me.” The new doc will focus more on the financial crisis than on foreign policy and will feature an “end-of-the-empire tone.”
Meryl Streep may finally be upstaged. She’ll star opposite a cute little feline in a movie based on the non-fiction book Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World.
The less feel-good true story of a 1987 prison riot will be the subject of an untitled film referred to as the “Delta Force prison project.” Unfortunately, that name isn’t necessarily a hint that Chuck Norris will star.
It was only a matter of time: a high school-set retelling of The Scarlet Letter involving a teenage girl who thinks it’s beneficial to have the reputation for being a slut. It’s called Easy A.
“Urkel” wrote a romantic comedy about a texting-based love affair.

This news about about the Dark Knight score, combined with last year’s disqualification of There Will Be Blood and Into The Wild, have confirmed what I suspected: The Academy Award for original score is entirely meaningless.
