Dennis Spiegel is an American lyricist . In 1992 he won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the song "Why Do I Lie?" from the HBO movie Cast a Deadly Spell.
Spiegel's song "Alone Yet Not Alone" from the 2013 film of the same name was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, but the nomination was rescinded on January 29, 2014, after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences found that the song's co-writer Bruce Broughton, a former governor and current executive committee member of the music branch of the Academy, had improperly contacted other branch members for support.
