After 'Alone Yet Not Alone' controversy at this year's Oscar awards, the Academy has come up with new rules for campaigning.
The most significant changes affect the music category, according to the updated regulation rules by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the 87th Academy Awards.
Music branch members may not contact other music branch members to promote the nomination of their own song in any way, including via mail, email, telephone or social media.
Additionally, music branch members may not attend any special live performances of eligible songs unless attached to a screening, a release by the Academy said.
The academy was forced to rescind the nomination of 'Alone Yet Not Alone', written by music branch member and composer Bruce Broughton and lyricist Dennis Spiegel after it was revealed that he had contacted 70 members of the 240-member music branch.
The Oscars will be held on February 22, 2015 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
