The Academy may not have thought much of New Moon's Jacob-to-wolf transformation, but apparently the moody music did it for 'em. Lykke Li's "Possibility," off the Twilight sequel's soundtrack, is one of 63 tunes in the running for a nomination for Best Original Song at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards in March.
The up-and-coming Li could be sharing the stage with anyone from Bono to Miley Cyrus to Ne-Yo—or, perhaps, Paul McCartney—depending on how it all plays out.
The U2-penned-and-performed "Winter" from the Iraq-war-hits-home thriller Brothers made the initial cut, while Hannah Montana: The Movie and The Princess and the Frog each have four songs in the running.
Ne-Yo's romantic "Never Knew I Needed" from Princess could win him his first little gold man, while Miley has three shots at taking the Oscar stage as a performer for the first time (and dad Billy Ray Cyrus has one if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences digs "Back to Tennessee" the best).
McCartney, an Oscar winner for the title track to Live and Let Die in 1973, could win a return trip to the podium for "(I Want to) Come Home," one of the songs he penned for the Robert De Niro-starring family dramedy Everybody's Fine.
Karen O ("Hideaway" and "All Things Love" from Where the Wild Things Are), Leona Lewis ("I See You" from Avatar) and Jarvis Cocker ("Petey's Song" from Fantastic Mr. Fox) could also provide a little Oscar-Grammy hybridization.
