The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced its contenders for Best Original Song with none of the contributions from the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack on the list. Focus has been pushing the EmmyLou Harris song "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" in its campaign for the film, but apparently the music branch of the Academy decided the song either wasn't played long enough in the film or wasn't audible. Yes, now in addition to placement in the film, you also have to be in a decent amount of screentime and have to be heard loud and clear. I'm starting to get why some people want this category gone altogether from the Oscars.
Here's the list of contenders.
