Oscar academy withdraws song's nomination after composer emailed members

The motion picture academy is withdrawing an original song Oscar nomination after it discovered the composer emailed members of the group’s music branch to make them aware of his submission during the voting period.

Bruce Broughton, who composed 'Alone Yet Not Alone', from the film of the same name, is a member of the music branch’s executive committee and a former governor for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
