Motion Picture Academy to Allow Up to 3 Composers to Receive Oscars for Best Original Score


Oscar rule changes for the best original score award have been announced. Get the details.

The music branch executive committee has the right, in what it alone determines to be a very rare and extraordinary circumstance, to award a third statuette to three individuals who functioned as equal collaborators in the creation of the original score and do not work together as a recognized band or group. The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, given to a creative producer whose body of work reflects a consistently high quality of motion picture production, will now be presented as an Oscar statuette. (L-R) Jon Batiste, Trent Reznor, and Atticus Ross, winners of Best Original Score for "Soul," pose in the press room during the Oscars on April 25, 2021 at Union Station in Los Angeles.
