[edit] Number of nominations

According to the Academy's offical records (the database is at Oscar's offical website), Newman's nominations for 1937 (for "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "The Hurricane") are not officially counted as nominations for Newman. Consequently, according to the Academy, Newman was only officially nominated 43 times. see: http://www.oscars.org/awardsdatabase/ --Dole2007 29 September 2007 (UTC)

--The Academy bestowed nominations on the composers who's scores where nominated during that time, thus Newman has 43 Nominations and 2 Honoree Nominations making 45. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.173.88 (talk) 17:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
