The category “Best Sound” can disappear from Oscar
Organizers of the ceremony awards Oscar announces that next year will give up to the category Best Sound if any film has a soundtrack attractive enough.
Regulation stipulates that at least one song must collect a minimum of 8.25 points on a scale from 6 to 10 of the votes of the members specialize in the music academy.
Composer Bruce Broughton said: “We try to high the quality level. There have been many debates about the songs in films, the lack of memorable songs from the past, the ease with which some are forgotten … This is an attempt to make the songs as best as possible.”
There are other changes in ceremony next year, besides this. Thus, honorary Oscars will be removed from the award ceremony and will be awarded in a separate ceremony.
Specialized music department has 230 members who vote sound after watching snippets of movies that appear in the songs. If it does not add the number of fixed points, the category will be removed from the ceremony.
If only one song reached the number of points, then this song with the one closest to score will be nominated. Number of nominations can range from two to five, depending on the score.
