Beyonce disqualified for song-writing Oscar

Beyonce Knowles will miss out on the chance to win a Best Song Oscar nomination because only three composers can be credited for an Academy Awards tune.

The pop superstar was hoping to land a nod for her part in writing hit tune Listen for the film Dreamgirls, but Oscars officials are only recognising Henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler for their contribution to the ballad, according to the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
