Answer


Answer to last week's quiz question:
The composer who was asked [by Alfred Newman] to present the 1938 Oscar for Best Score was Arnold Schoenberg, who did not attend the ceremony but sent a message in which he hoped that 'there will soon come a time, when the severe conditions and laws of modernistic music will be no hindrance any more toward a reconciliation with the necessities of the moving picture industry'.
