ASCAP Celebrates Oscar Noms at SCL's Pre-Academy Award Reception

ASCAP co-sponsored the annual SCL reception honoring the Academy Award nominees in the Best Score and Best Song categories. The event was held on the afternoon before the Oscar ceremonies at the home of John and Bonnie Cacavas in Beverly Hills. ASCAP writers and international affiliates swept this year's Oscars, composing or co-writing music for all ten nominated films. Dario Marianelli (PRS) went on to receive the Oscar for his score to Atonement, while Glenn Hansard (IMRO) and Marketa Irglova (IMRO) won for "Falling Slowly" from
Once. They all license their music through ASCAP in the U.S.
