    Well, you can't blame me for expecting the worst from the Academy's music branch!

    I don't even think the Academy would stoop so low as to rescind a nomination.

    Oh, I know that they've done it before. But it hasn't happened since the '50s or '60s.

    "People Like Us," A.R. Rahman, composer
    Wow. I did NOT know he did the music for that film!

    Will you join the Geography Club?

    As a collaboration with Metric, Cosmopolis had no chance at all to make it past the Academy's "one composer per score" rule.

    But it is a great score!
    You can do it, Naomi! You're...
    ONLY 10 EASY STEPS AWAY FROM OSCAR!

    1.) Bankrupt small, independent distributor via massive Oscar campaign. Failing that, proceed to...
    2.) Cash in King Kong residual checks to pay for FYC advertisements from Kinko's.
    3.) To avoid getting sent straight to VOD, attach entire film as a "trailer" to another film people actually want to see. And then...
    4.) Try to do it Lahti-style and win Academy Award for Best Short Film.
    5.) Avoid telling a story that everyone already knows by adding exciting details and/or gratuitous editing.
    6. Carefully and patiently weather the wrath of film critics/the royal family/the tabloids/Diana-maniacs for trying to add said details. (Good luck!)
    7. Find all of the boxes with "August: Osage County" screeners and slip in self-made cam bootleg from premiere screening at Lowes...the hardware store.
    (Not Loews, the movie theater -- too expensive!)
    8. Trick octogenarian Oscar voters into thinking that you are, in fact, a real princess. (Hey, it worked on Eva Marie Saint!)
    9. On Oscar night, have camera crews come to Nicole's house, Joan Crawford-style, so you can win and keep your day job.
    10. OSCAR!

    The last time it happened for the Music Branch was actually in the '70s, I think, with The Godfather nom being replaced by the Sleuth one.

    In 1992 a film from Uruguay had its nomination revoked in Foreign Language Film because it was discovered that the film actually wasn't from Uruguay.

    A Place in the World. It was considered argentinean, in the end, and yes, the nomination was revoked, but I think it wasn't replaced by anything, it just became a 4-way race.
