The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences said on December 12 that 79 songs are in contention for the original song category for the 87th Oscars.

A maximum of two songs may be nominated from one film.

Academy rules state that to be eligible, “a song must consist of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the film.
