New Oscar Rule Limits Song Nominations to 2 Per Film

So looks like Enchanted was the last movie ever to get 3 songs nominated from one movie.

The number of original songs that can be nominated from a single movie will now be limited to two, according to a rule change by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The academy's governors approved the change late Tuesday.

Last year, Disney's "Enchanted" had three titles in contention: "Happy Working Song," "So Close" and "That's How You Know." The winner of best original song: "Falling Slowly," from "Once."


I don't know about you, but I had a feeling that getting 3 almost equally-strong songs nominated from Enchanted may have hurt it from winning the Oscar.
