Lady GaGa has been named on The Oscars 2012 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.

I don't think so. If not, she won't be nominated.

AP yesterday under "Madonna not making the list" title.

Lady Gaga can only be mentioned as a featured vocalist on an Oscar-nominated song (if it gets nominated). She is not eligible for a nomination.

Here are the facts:

1. She will not be nominated.
2. If the song IS nominated, she will have recorded vocals for an Oscar nominated song.
3. Elton already stated that he wants to bring Gaga to the Golden Globes.
4. While she won't be an Oscar nominee, she could EASILY be an 2012 Oscar attendee and performer.

She's listed as a songwriter/composer of the film version on BMI, but not the soundtrack version with Elton only.

So I assume she has more to do with the song other than vocals otherwise it wouldn't be in her BMI database or she'd be listed under "Artist" only. Still, I think the award will only go to Bernie Taupin and Elton John if it wins.

Masterpiece is not eligible because it's not in the movie nor the first cue in the ending credits.
