Would "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele have been eligible for an Oscar nod? If it had been nominated/put forward, it would have probably walked it for a win. So I'm surprised that it wasn't even put forward.
The category is for best original song. The song came out just two months before the movie came out, and the movie was clearly made earlier in 2010, so surely it would have qualified as "original".
Unless I've misunderstood the criteria for qualification for this category, I'd say a trick was missed here.... anyone care to shed any light on this?
No, the song has to written specifically for the movie. They have recently made it much harder to qualify for a Best Song Oscar, which resulted in only two songs being eligible this year.
