BMI Film & TV Awards 1997
The 1997 BMI Film & TV Awards ceremony was the twelfth of its kind. Work from the previous year is always recognized at the award ceremony. The respective song composers are awarded in the category Most Performed Song from a Film , so there may be deviations from the soundtrack composers.
This year, the same song was awarded three times in the “Most Performed Song from a Film” category.
