Because LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS falls under their revival rule - same way that ASSASSINS and TWELVE ANGRY MEN did. They are established, well-known works. Both LITTLE SHOP and ASSASSINS already had cast albums out, and LITTLE SHOP was made into a major motion picture - so for obvious reasons, the score could no longer be deemed original.

For everyone that is saying that the score is not good...that is just your point of view. Maybe you should use "in my opinion" before the actual thought. I think the show was outstanding.

Oh Jesus Christ. Let's not get into this "in my opinion" thing again. People that think the score blows are entitled to think that, just as you are entitled to think that it's amazing. I can say "the score is terrible." That's not an end-all statement - CLEARLY - it's just my opinion.

You think the show was outstanding. I thought it was okay. Others think it was terrible. Whatever - it doesn't matter - but a difference in opinion about a long gone show is no reason for you to come across so personally offended about this issue.

muscle23ftl, I don't get your point. Everyone who writes a post on this board, about their feelings about a show, is ALWAYS stating their opinion, that the point of the board. I don't see the need for anyone to have to say "in my opinion" even though I did that exact thing in my earlier post in this thread.

Producer Lloyd Webber as well as the show's composer talked in length about how they used a handful of his popular film songs mixed in with a dozen original ones in this show. The score is definitely not "completely original."

Regardless, ENOUGH of the score was original for it to be considered an original score - it was eligible for a nomination.

I did know that about "Chaiyya Chaiyya" and had just forgotten. All of the other "numbers" in the show were written just for the show. Rahman might have used certain parts of certain songs in parts of BOMBAY, but that's not what I meant.

I just thought I'd add that. It's so awful for a poster to appear ignorant.

It definitely was eligible, as I had said in an earlier post. Just like "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (which WAS nominated, but didn't win). Millie had songs from the movie in it as well as original music, but "enough" of the score was deemed original to allow it to compete for the award.

They (the committee) just didn't select it.
