Broughton 's song " Alone yet Not Alone , " from the film with the same name , was originally nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards . But on January 29 , 2014 , before any voting could take place , the nomination was rescinded , when the Academy alleged that Broughton , a former Academy governor who , at the time , was an executive committee member of the Academy 's music branch , had improperly contacted other branch members . " No matter how well-intentioned the communication , using one 's position as a former governor and current executive committee member to personally promote one ’s own Oscar submission creates the appearance of an unfair advantage , ” said Cheryl Boone Isaacs , Academy President . Not everyone agreed with the Academy 's actions
