Every source says Gaga is the main writer as long as TIHTY gets the exposure to win, i really doubt that Diane will complain. i somehow agree that she´s Oscar hungry. it seems to me she arranged all the oscar campaign an gaga just jumped in as promo. i hope she wins though, diane deserves it and it would be beautiful for a song with this message to win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe 17,130 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 In fairness, unlike The Grammy Awards, the Oscars credit Diane first. http://oscar.go.com/nominees/music-original-song/til-it-happens-to-you-from-the-hunting-ground Still seems strange that other sources are naming Gaga first, but maybe it is alphabetical (with real names) or in terms of recognisability. It makes sense to me that Diane would be considered the primary writer, but it's strange to me that The Grammy's are naming Gaga first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make sense, because all of the last names were in alphabetical order on the picture that the Grammys tweeted But I'm only a man and I do what I can.

Bebe 17,130 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Okay cool. It seems like the reason Gaga is credited first is not because she contributed more but it's alphabetical. That makes a lot of sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I don't know how to use ASCAP but I did research on BMI and here's the order of credits Disco Heaven Songwriter/Composer FUSARI ROBERT GERMANOTTA STEFANI KAFAFIAN THOMAS So Happy I Could Die Songwriter/Composer DRESTI NICOLAS JEAN PIERRE GERMANOTTA STEFANI KHAYAT NADIR Born This Way Songwriter/Composer BLAIR PAUL EDWARD GERMANOTTA STEFANI Applause Songwriter/Composer BLAIR PAUL EDWARD BRESSO MARTIN JOSEPH LEONARD GERMANOTTA STEFANI MONSON NICK ZISIS DINO So it is placed based on alphabetical order on these website, I'm guessing the Oscars followed this example. I'm not sure why the Grammy's didn't do it Maybe order means nothing to them. But if it was by importance than Gaga should have been first because she wrote all of her songs first.

Bebe 17,130 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 I may as well lock because it seems the answer is that it's just alphabetical. Thank you everyone who helped clear up my confusion! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
