Why is Gaga calling it Original Score? Isn't it Original Song?

[Jonathan2244 1,858]

I am just quite confused.

[Andreyw 4,285]

she scored a nomination for Original Song, that's why

[AnglerfishbraBENUS 5,734]

A score is another word for song....lol

 

but it's greater than a song because Score implies intense sheet music (violins, cellos, guitar, drum lines and bass lines)  For instance 'B*tch I'm Madonna' isn't a score necessarily.  And score also implies that it's from a film most of the time.

basically it just sounds more official is all.

[LePetitGAGABLover 21,234]

Because this is not the Grammys?

Calling it a score sounds more professional and movie-related. 

 

[Gypsy Life 118,907]

Original Score is a known term for music played during movies, regardless of the fact that The Academy separates both Original Song and Original Score.

[JDi 1,495]

basically, she drinks and this isn't even an AHS pun.

Gaga just mixed up the categories. A score is music that accompanies the action on screen. A song played during the credits doesn't and cannot count as a score because it's written as a standalone piece.

[BenG 19,908]

Maybe she meant it like a song she wrote, including the instrumental parts. Hence, making it a complete score for the song.

She just ****ed up. It happens. No biggie.

lol yes

definition:

orchestrate or arrange (a piece of music), typically for a specified instrument or instruments.

any piece of music is a score... whether it is to accompany action on screen or not.

[Pacify Him 9,073]

Score is a word they would use if it was involved in any other piece of media like let's say, a movie, video game, etc.

[Sizzily 14,543]

She mixed up categories. Yes its another word for song but there is a category called Best Original Score (which Star Wars is nominated for ) But I can't stop you from being delusional.

It's used for like a minute and a half.

To me it's still the most convincing that she just said something without thinking. Like when she mixed up her awards on the Billboard's Women in Music red carpet.
