BEST MUSIC 1991: Disney followed the mammoth success of The Little Mermaid with a film that hit even higher heights when BEAUTY AND THE BEAST not only stormed the box office but also scored with reviewers, the best critically rated film of the year that then became the first animated film to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. It featured, among its many assets, a career best score by ALAN MENKEN and HOWARD ASHMAN, the latter of whom passed away months before the film was even released and before the two of them won Best Original Score and Best Original Song (for the title song) at the 1992 ceremony (plus accomplished getting three songs from one film into that category for the first time ever). Ashman’s partner Bill Lauch accepted the award on his behalf, who informed the audience that it was the first Oscar to be given to someone we had already lost to AIDS; Ashman’s headstone reads "O that he would have but one more song to sing", and "Last Dance" winner Paul Jabara would die of the disease later that year. Menken and Ashman also won for "Under The Sea" (The Little Mermaid, 1989) and were nominated together for "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space" (Little Shop of Horrors, 1986), "Kiss The Girl" (The Little Mermaid"), "Be Our Guest" and "Belle" (both Beauty and the Beast, 1991) and "Friend Like Me" (Aladdin, 1992). Menken also won for The Little Mermaid (score, 1989), Aladdin (score and song, 1992) and Pocahontas (score and song, 1995) and was nominated for The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), "Go The Distance" (Hercules, 1997), "Happy Working Song", "So Close", "That's How You Know" (all Enchanted, 2007) and "I See The Light" (Tangled, 2010).
