I worked late today, to make up for being home yesterday, so I am just now catching up. So, you may have already addressed this, but how can Howard Ashman, who has been dead for over 15 years, be nominated for his Lyrics in the Category of Best Original Score Written for the Theatre?
Because the score (music and lyrics) has been deemed worthy of a nomination, since more than 50% of the score (music
and lyrics) is new. Since Howard's lyrics are part of the whole score (music AND lyrics), he's included in the nomination.
