Yesterday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released its short list of songs eligible to be nominated for a "Best Original Song" award.
There are SIXTY-THREE songs on this list. SIXTY-THREE. Out of that list members will vote and narrow it down to usually three to five actual nominees, announced on February 2. Here's the most important part of the rules governing eligibility:
To be eligible, a song must consist of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the film. A clearly audible, intelligible, substantive rendition of both lyric and melody must be used in the body of the film or as the first music cue in the end credits.
That doesn't really make clear whether Bob Dylan mumbling would disqualify himself.
Here are the SIXTY-THREE possible nominees, FIVE of which are from the Hannah Montana movie. We are semi-arbitrarily bolding the ones we're even mildly interested in:
