: The warbling efforts of Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge may have entered the pop charts in the UK and Australia, but apparently they haven't a hope of winning an Oscar next year. That's because of a bizarre rule that prevents a song being entered for the Best Song Oscar where it wasn't written for the original film.
: Come What May was written by David Baerwald for a Baz Luhrmann film - but for his earlier movie Romeo + Juliet, rather than Moulin Rouge in which it actually appeared.
: 'It's crazy,' Luhrmann complains to US magazine Entertainment Weekly, 'because in musicals historically, you're always using well-loved songs. White Christmas (which won an Oscar in 1943) appeared in several films.'
thank you for the info and songtext, i also think it's very styrange this song can't win an oscar, because it's a great song and it could enter the oscars it would probably win!
