Lady GaGa has been named on The Oscars2012 longlist in the Best Song category.
The Marry The Night singer is mentioned in the list of 39 songs hoping for a nomination, with her Gnomeo and Juliet duet, Hello Hello, with Elton John in the race for a place in the final list.
Elton's solo track Love Builds A Garden also features, while Mary J. Blige has received a nod for The Help's Living Proof.
Robbie Williams and Brad Paisley's Cars 2 collaboration Collision of Worlds will also go head-to-head with Will.I.Am's track Hot Wings from the movie Rio and Zooey Deschanel's So Long, taken from Winnie the Pooh.
Madonna has missed out on a place in the longlist as her song Masterpiece from flick W.E.featured too far into the movie's end credits - with the rules stating it must be a lead song to received a nomination.
Out of the 39 tracks appearing on the longlist, only five will secure a nod and make the shortlist in the Best Song category.
However, if not one song receives enough votes from members of the Academy, there could be no category at all.
The voting process begins on 5th January, while the full 2012 Oscars nominations will be announced live on 24th January 2012, at 5.30am PT at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theatre.
