| You're missing my key point which I do think was pretty specifically laid out... it has to have ben *for that property*. If it was written *for that property*, and that property had never been a film, then everything in the film that was written for the property (rather than, using your example, putting an established pop song from the 50s into the property). But if you're applying this specifically to Camelot and saying that because "If Ever I Would Love You" was in Camelot the stage musical and became a known song (i'm confused because you said the 50s, and Camelot premiered in 1960 - I'm not sure to what extent the song was a stand alone "pop hit" but if so it wasn't in the 50s) from that show or cast recording, and so it shouldn't be eligible for a film award when the show it was written for becomes a film that it's included in... then i VERY much disagree with you, and I think you'd feel the same way if you were a songwriter. Why punish the song and the writer for its success? And are you saying that if the song had not become a breakout hit from the original then it SHOULD be eligible? I really don't see what the logic is in making some writing eligible and some not. It's a music, the most substantial and/or significant writing, including words, are the songs, in almost every case. The songs are material that motivated a film version and are used for the film version, and have not been eligible for film awards... so please explain the logic of why they shouldn't be. If the Tonys were to eliminate the Best Score Tony and made it one "Writing" award, you better believe the composer and lyricist of a musical would be included in the writing, so why aren't they in a musical film? |
