The Los Angeles Times featured an editorial cartoon illustrating the "David-versus-Goliath" confrontation that's taken place when the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences first nominated "Alone Yet Not Alone" for best song then revoked its nomination two weeks later.

The Academy said that song creator Bruce Broughton improperly emailed "members of the branch to make them aware of his submission during the nominations voting period."
