75 Original Songs Make Oscar Shortlist

Published

on

Great GatsbyYesterday the Academy released their list of 75 original songs eligible for Academy Award nomination. The musical films have inevitably been included, for a snubbing in this category signals the death knell for any film reliant on original music. FrozenBlack Nativity and One Chance all make an appearance as well as other animated features such as Monsters UniversityDespicable Me 2 and Epic – all possibly animated feature nominees too.

The Great Gatsby has 5 possible nominees in the shortlist, making this category probably its best shot at a nomination. With a soundtrack from Jay Z it was a safe bet they would be campaigning, and this is one of the few (almost) unanimously agreed strengths of the film. But enough jibber jabbering; take a look at the list yourself – who do you tip for a nomination, or is your favorite song of the year missing?
