Adele, Katy, Christina Aguilera and Florence and the Machine are just some artists who are eligible to receive an Oscar nomination ahead of next year's ceremony.
'Rolling In The Deep' hitmaker Adele sung the soundtrack for the latest James Bond movie 'Skyfall', which was co-written by Adele and Paul Epworth and has been described as one of the best 007 themes in the franchise's 50-year history.
The Academy Motion Pictures will now be whittling down a list of 75 candidates to just five songs from films which have been released this year, and in addition to Adele, Katy Perry is also believed to be a song contender.
Katy's single 'Wide Awake' is reportedly being considered after it featured in the singer's autobiographical movie, 'Part of Me,' which followed the hitmaker as she embarked on her world tour last year.
Florence and The Machine are also in with a chance after the band's song 'Breath Of Life,' featured in blockbuster movie, 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' which starred Kristen Stewart.
Others in the running include Bon Jovi's Not Running Anymore,' Rick Ross' 100 Black Coffins', Arcade Fire's 'Abraham's Daughter' which can be heard in 'The Hunger Games' and Christina Aguilera's title track 'Casa De Mi Padre.'
However, it's Adele's 'Skyfall' which is expected to be the big contender, something which will no doubt be news to Daniel Craig's ears after he admitted to crying when he first the ballad.
"She has the voice and the tone that we wanted. I cried. From the opening bars I knew immediately, then the voice kicked in and it was exactly what I'd wanted. It just got better and better because it fitted the movie. In fact the more of the movie we made, the more it fitted," Daniel, who is the current Bond, told the Daily Star.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S LIPS WERE CASTED IN A CAMEO FOR 'CASA DE MI PADRE'
Will Ferrell hardly needs an introduction. Last year he won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor for his "impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist," which is to say he can pull off a heartwarming performance as an innocent elf as well as a boorish fraternity has-been, all whileinfluencing the American electorate and cracking up his colleagues on SNL.Ferrell's newest film, Casa de mi Padre, is a Spanish-language comedy that casts him as Armando Alvarez, a simple rancher who must defend his family's land from drug traffickers, while he wins the heart of his brother's fianceé. We spoke to Ferrell about dreaming in Spanish, his spate of non-mainstream projects, and what is up with those Old Milwaukee ads.
Christina Aguilera sings the theme song for Casa de mi Padre. Were those her actual lips in the beginning of the movie? Or were they stunt lips?
They were! Believe it or not she actually allowed us to come and film her lips. We pitched a whole thing to her. I think it was Matt [Piedmont], the director's idea, to focus on her lips throughout the opening credits. It worked!

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA RETURNS TO HER LATINA ROOTS FOR 'CASA DE MI PADRE'
Will Ferrell is helping Christina Aguilera get back to her roots. "The Voice" judge has returned to Spanish-language singing with "Casa de Mi Padre," the lead track on the soundtrack to the comedian's telenovela-influenced comedy of the same name.The new song finds Aguilera making a welcome return to Latin music. No synthesizers or AutoTune here -- instead, the production has dramatic Spanish guitars, blaring trumpets, and a gospel backing all with a flamenco twist. Aguilera's vocals are in the forefont, doing what she does best: belting and sustaining the notes most can only dream of nailing.
In a treat for Latin fans, "Casa" marks a return to the half-Ecuadorian Aguilera's early days. Aguilera most notably released a Spanish version her debut album titled "Mi Reflejo," in 2000. The album featured Spanish version of her No. 1 singles "Genie In A Bottle," "What A Girl Wants," "Come On Over, Baby (All I Want Is You)" as well as original tracks. She went on to win Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the 2001 Latin Grammy Awards.
Aguilera had only dipped into the genre since with a Spanish version of "Stripped" track "Get Mine, Get Yours" titled "Dame Lo Que Yo Te Doy"in 2002 and a contribution to the 2004 "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" soundtrack with "El Beso Del Final." The closest thing fans have heard since is the Spanglish banger "Desnudate," featured on 2010's "Bionic."
The "Casa de Mi Padre" soundtrack was digitally released on Tuesday, with the film due in theaters on Friday, March 17. The song opens the film.

[MULTIMEDIA] CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S BLAZING HOT NEW SONG, 'LA CASA'
Last week, we told you about Christina Aguilera's new project, which basically consisted of her singing her ass off with a rock band, and flaunting her moves like Jagger. Of course, having actual moves like Jagger is near impossible, but during her performance of the song on "The Voice," Christina came damn close.
