New Rules
The Envelope's Mark Olsen is reporting that two rule changes have been instituted for the upcoming 81st Academy Awards. One, only two songs may be nominated from a single film henceforth. And two, the philistines on the foreign film committee who notoriously declined to vote Cristian Mingiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days onto the short list last year have lost a large portion of their power. The new rules will allow the 20-member Foreign Language Film Award Executive Committee (i.e., friends/allies of Mark Johnson with a more sensitive point of view) to determine three of the nine films on the shortlist. The other six titles will be determined by the boobs.

Really good news, in my opinion, on both scores. Speaking of which, did they touch the Original Score rules?

The original score category needs to allow two composers be nominated for the score - see Batman Begins or Assassination of Jesse James. If the rules allow two directors to be nominated for the same film, then why not score?
What was the "technicality" that ruled out Jonny Greenwood's TWBB last year?

Aladdin>> I believe Greenwood's score was ruled out because too much of the music was recycled (some of it he had composed previously for another work). Also, I'm not sure, but the use of the Brahms could have also counted against the Academy's rules of minimum-percentage original music composition.
