Will the New Moon Soundtrack make it to the Oscars? Let’s all cross our fingers and hope it will happen.  The members from the Academy Awards committee have unveiled the candidates for the prestigious award.

On Jan. 12, the Academy will screen clips featuring each song, in random order, for voting members of the music branch in Los Angeles. Following the screenings, members will determine the nominees by an averaged point system vote. If no song receives an average score of 8.25 or more, there will be no nominees in the category. If only one song achieves that score, it and the song receiving the next highest score shall be the two nominees. If two or more songs (up to five) achieve that score, they shall be the nominees.
