According to Variety.com, the executive committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ music department has disqualified The Dark Knight’s score from being nominated for an Academy Award.

This is not the first time a score has been disqualified for having multiple names on the sheet. In 2005, The Dark Knight’s prequel, Batman ...

Interestingly enough, Hans Zimmer said in an interview with Variety earlier that listing more composers on the cue sheet was a way of rewarding some of the members of the music team financially.
Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Alex Gibson, Mel Wesson and Lorne Balfe apparently signed an affidavit ...
