Miley Cryus’ song The Climb was disqualified from the Grammy category song written for motion picture, television or other media because the song wasn’t written for Hannanh Montana: The Movie. The Recording Academy told Variety, “Walt Disney Records was proactive and forthcoming to our awards department and verified that the song was not written specifically for the film ‘Hannah Montana: The Movie’ (as eligibility rules state). Based on this information, the Academy has complied with the label’s request. Per our process in this circumstance, the Academy has pulled up the next eligible song in this category.” The newly nominated song is All Is Love that was written for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are.
What I want to know is how come the song actually got the nom even though it wasn’t written for the movie, didn’t the person who submitted it for contention check that out before they submitted it? I mean it is pretty easy to check, all you have to do is call the writers of the song and ask, “Did you write it for the movie?” But I guess sometimes the obvious isn’t always done.
