It turns out that Lykke Li’s Possibility from the New Moon soundtrack may be eligible for an Oscar! The track made it on the list of songs that might be nominated in the Original Song category for the 82nd Academy Awards.

It’s the end of December, which means we’re knee-deep in the annual awards season. The nominations for the Golden Globe Awards came out earlier this week, and the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards nominees were announced this morning. Though the Academy Award nominations won’t be announced until February 2, the Oscars have sent out the list of the 63 original songs from films that will be eligible for a nomination in the Best Original Song category. There are a handful of soundtrack tunes from blockbusters (like Linkin Park’s “New Divide,” from “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”), plenty of foreign fare and a ton of Miley Cyrus tracks.

But there’s one song that really stands out: Lykke Li’s “Possibility,” which comes from the soundtrack to “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” The moody piece is one of the standouts from the excellent soundtrack (which also features Death Cab for Cutie, Thom Yorke and Muse) and could be the best shot that “New Moon” has at Oscar gold.
