Possibility nominerad till en Oscar!
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.
When Lykke Li stopped by MTV News a few months ago to discuss the "New Moon" soundtrack, she told rock editor James Montgomery that the song's melody had been living in her head for a while, but it took a screening of the movie to make it complete. "I had this hook in my mind," she said. "I was watching the movie, and I was like, 'That's the hook!'"
As soon as she decided what the song would be, she finished writing it and recorded it the next day. But what was it about "New Moon" that gave Lykke Li the songwriting spark? "It was very much a discovery inside myself," she said. "I had this song growing inside me that had to get out, and I really connected with [Edward and Bella's] tortured love story."
