Oscar-qualifying songs include Muppets, leave out MadonnaThe Academy has released a short list of film songs that are in contention for Oscar nomination consideration, New York Magazine’s Vulture reports. Notably absent from the list is Madonna’s “Masterpiece,” from her film “W.E.” Turns out Madge’s song sounds too far into the movie’s closing credits to qualify for a nomination in the category. Celebs who did make the cut include Zooey Deschanel (who sings a “Winnie the Pooh” tune), Mary J. Blige (“The Living Proof” is featured in “The Help”), and Glenn Close (the actress co-wrote “Lay Your Head Down” for “Albert Nobbs”). Three songs from “The Muppets” - “Life's a Happy Song,” “Man or Muppet,” and “Pictures in My Head” - are included on the list of 39 tunes. As for which of the songs will be performed on the Academy Awards telecast, we’ll just have to wait until February 26. For the full list of eligible songs, visit Oscars.org.

Im just jealous because I know LDS followers get better Chtistmas presents. My family is poor like Kennys. We just get cream corn for Christmas. And dradles.
You do your Live Bro's proud! What's next? Maybe a g a y comment?
Your posts are the written equivalent of a mentally r e t a r d e d person constantly rocking forward and back in their seat. Get some new "shocking" material or get yourself some help F R E A K.
Laminites stink ! They prostelytize about doookie.
Naaaaah. We dont start back until January 03. Christmas break rules ! What do you want for Christmas? I want some XBox games where you try to convert heathens to the LDS Church.
Ah... one of the Xbox Live crowd. That speaks VOLUMES about the level of intelligence on display here.
I feel sorry for you who do not believe in our faith. We of the LDS church extend open arms to all.
Save the pity for yourself, kid. Shouldn't you be back to class by now?
A talking frog is obviously the work of the devil.
Oh look! A cute little library troll, trying to pretend he's from Utah to stir up controversy! D'awwww!
We dont allow muppets and devil creatures here in beautiful Utah.
Here is the exact ruling from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences:
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.

Glad you came to terms with your s e x u a l i t y but it would probably be healthier to come out to your parents and people around you, than do it a n o n y m o u s l y to an entertainment forum's readers. Good luck with that!
