So, the Oscar nominations are out, and who is nominated in the two music categories, I hear you ask. What, you didn’t ask that? Well, I’m going to tell you anyway.

Shortlisted for best original song are:
Randy Newman’s ‘Almost There’ from ‘The Princess And The Frog’
Randy Newman’s ‘Down In New Orleans’ from ‘The Princess And The Frog’
Reinhardt Wagner and Frank Thomas’ ‘Loin de Paname’ from ‘Paris 36’
Maury Yeston’s ‘Take It All’ from ‘Nine’
Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett’s ‘The Weary Kind’ from ‘Crazy Heart’

Shortlisted for best original score are: 
James Horner for ‘Avatar’
Alexandre Desplat for ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’
Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders for ‘The Hurt Locker’
Hans Zimmer for ‘Sherlock Holmes’
Michael Giacchino for ‘Up’

Both ‘Avatar’ and ‘The Hurt Locker’ have eight other nominations each other than their musical ones, and tie for the title of most nominations at the 82nd Academy Awards. Both are also up for Best Picture, for which there are ten nominees this year. The Oscars will be dished out on 7 Mar.
