Regarding the Alone, Yet not Alonecontroversy, I think DON DAVIS petition statement for APMAS Music Branch members to sign, nails it! See below for Dons statement. I agree with Don and signed his petition.( Also, please see the LA Times article from today if youre curious as to what Bruces email said-- see if you think that that email constitutes a breach of ethics and a strong arm tactic.) DON DAVIS PETITION STATEMENT: Reinstate the Original Song Nomination for “Alone Yet Not Alone” We object to the rescinding of the Original Song Nomination by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors for the song “Alone Yet Not Alone.” As members of the AMPAS Music Branch, we consider this act an usurpation of our rights as voters, and we demand that this nomination be reinstated. “Alone Yet Not Alone” was eligible by all of AMPAS applicable rules and regulations. Any personal correspondence some of us may have received from the artists involved was miniscule in comparison to the deluge of email, print and recorded promotion that we received from every studio production for every possible nomination. It should be noted that there was no studio promotion for this film or the song nomination whatsoever, and that the song did appear on the official AMPAS DVD that was sent to each of us for consideration along with every other eligible song. The act of rescinding this nomination had no consideration for the artistic merit of the song in question, and as such is an insult to those of us who were asked to consider the artistic merit of each song and found “Alone Yet Not Alone” to be fully worthy of an AMPAS nomination in its category. The revoking of this nomination is wrong, and we demand that the Board of Governors reverse this unjust decision. - Don Davis
