ACADEMY NOTES

1. Mr. Brando refused the award.
2. 'The Godfather' score was originally announced as one of the five official nominees. It was later pointed out that portions of the score and the main theme were composed by Mr. Rota for his score to the 1958 Italian film, 'Fortunella.' The Music Branch was given this information and re-balloted to determine the fifth nomination. The list of six films they were to choose from were the remaining five of the Top ten preliminary listings, plus 'The Godfather' score. The results of the re-balloting was that the fifth nomination became 'Sleuth'.
3. The Academy's Board of Governors voted to confer this award on January 6, 1973. Mr. Robinson passed away on January 26th, and the award was accepted on his behalf by his wife.
