Who's going to follow Adele to win Best Song at next years Oscars?
Out of all the Movies released last year only 14 songs qualified for nominations.
This year there are some good songs
Emeli Sande - 'Here It Comes' from the movie Trance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh_tQwVQH9U
Florence - 'Over The Love' from The Great Gatsby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSPOCVjla_4
Lana Del Ray - 'Young and Beautiful' from The Great Gatsby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKI7lubTj8
(This may not qualify because it wasn't wrote for the movie to start with)
Beyoncé -'Rise Up' from Epic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Xf91QbTwo
Any songs that are in the end credits of any movie can't be nominated.
Song due out for movies later in the Year
U2 for Avatar 2
Julie Andrews for Saving Mr. Banks
Susan Boyle for The Christmas Candle (reported to be end credits).
Can anyone think of anymore tracks?

Also re: Young and Beautiful: I've heard a few people say it started out as a Paradise track and was just lifted at the last minute for the film, so doesn't therefore qualify. But is there anything that actually supports this view?
Every interview I've seen from Del Rey to the Director Baz Luhrmann seems to suggest it was indeed specifically written for the film, so much so that Baz himself has a songwriting credit on the track for adding in a few of his own lyrics. Apparently she kept sending him loose drafts of song ideas she'd written and sang into her mobile phone. Baz liked Young and Beautiful the best, so that became the one.
Add to that the fact that song never previously appeared on any of Lana's albums, and the first time anyone has ever heard it was on this film, I therefore don't see any reason why the song shouldn't qualify for an Oscar nomination at all.
I haven't got a clue what songs are due for future films
I had no idea that Julie Andrews was doing one, mainly because she hasn't sung since the throat surgery ruined her voice and she sued them.
Swift was nominated for The Hunger Games song - Golden Globes but couldn't be nominated for an Oscar, same with Madonna from the movie W/E.
Mariah Carey's Almost Home can't be nominated this year.
Beyonce shouldn't need to be pissed off about Dreamgirls. The better actress won the oscar. The grammys might be up her backside, but thankfully the oscars are not.
Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey (Great Gatsby)
those are two of my faves from films currently
The Academy like a song that's had some chart success.
Just looked up SuBo and her song is religious, can't see that having any chart success within the digital market
Every single thread on this music forum becomes a Beyonce hate thread. Bizarre considering she's the biggest start of our time. There must be a deeper reason behind her hate because she is a genuinely nice and charitable person but people pursue hate. I find it weird.
It's because she is showered with praise for what is at best mediocre music. Great entertainer yes musically wanting.
Not necessarily. I read somewhere that a song can still qualify for the Oscars if it's played immediately or start within one minute of the end credits, I think. Taylor Swift's Hunger Games song was either the second or third song in (so way beyond the qualification cut-off) and Madonna's W/E song missed the end credits starting cut-off.
Beyonce was also thinking about the Best Song Oscars for Dreamgirls. She was bumped out of the list since only three writers can be nominated and she was the "fourth writer" for Listen, which got nominated. That's what might have pissed her off more. She had no chance at all of being nominated for Best Lead Actress that year. It didn't matter anyways since Dreamgirls lost to a song from An Inconvenient Truth.
