Sing me a song: 75 songs on the Best Song longlist

Published by

Yesterday, AMPAS released the list of 75 songs that are eligible this year for the Oscars. Notable absence: “Please Mr. Kennedy”, from Inside Llewyn Davis, which was deemed ineligible because it was seen as too much of an hommage to a Micky Wood song with the same title.
Check for yourself if your favorite songs are still in the running. Also note the five (!) possible songs from Kamasutra 3D. Can we have one of those nominated, and then have some of that interpretive dance again, please?

Also check our forums, where we are collecting as many of these songs as possible.
