Discussion Heavy Metal music and the Oscars
Why is it that the Academy avoids heavy metal music in the best original song category?
My biggest beef is Ozzy, Zakk Wylde, and Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead never getting a nomination for their original movie song Hellraiser for the 1992 film Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.
The academy embraces every genre of music except heavy metal.

same reason they ignore most genre movies. Because they're a bunch of snobs.
