As the Variety article from 1-09-1967 states:
At the 39th Annual Academy Awards ceremony on 4-10-1967 (Mon), no Elvis:... Arthur Freed, prexy of the Academy ... emphasizes the pix involved are not nominees for awards, but are "preliminary selections" from which actual nominations will be made. Screenings start today ...

Re: Elvis and the Oscars in 1967
Can't help falling love should have received a nomination for the 1962 Academy awards. I wonder if it was seriously considered and whether or not it came close to be nominated.

Maybe. But the 34th Academy Awards was all about "West Side Story," a huge, huge success:brian wrote:Can't help falling love should have received a nomination for the 1962 Academy awards.

The Best Original Song went to "Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's":

Right. The point is that any other movie musical was far away from the mind of the Academy voters.brian wrote:West Side story wasn't nominated in that category though.

Re: Elvis and the Oscars in 1967
Nevertheless, the fact that our man's soundtrack work in this lost period was even considered for Oscar nominations is quite remarkable!

Re: Elvis and the Oscars in 1967
I like the first seconds of I'll Be Back when Elvis is showed with a double six guitar. Maybe if he "sings" with this guitar in the movie clip I could like this song after all.
