The Academy may not have thought much of New Moon’s Jacob-to-wolf transformation, but apparently the moody music did it for ‘em.

Lykke Li’s “Possibility,” off the Twilight sequel’s soundtrack, is one of 63 tunes in the running for a nomination for Best Original Song at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards in March.

The up-and-coming Li could be sharing the stage with anyone from Bono to Miley Cyrus to Ne-Yo—or, perhaps, Paul McCartney—depending on how it all plays out.

Twilight has been nominated for two 2010 Grammy Awards. The 2010 Grammy nominations for Twilight come from the soundtrack and score for the film, and could definitely add to the appeal of watching the Grammy Awards this year.

Twilight 2010 Grammy Nominations

The two categories that Twilight has received Grammy nominations for are Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media and Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. The people behind the music in the first film of the Twilight series have to be delighted to hear about this news.

In the category of Best Song, the song chosen from Twilight is called Decode and was written by Josh Farro, Hayley Williams & Taylor York. It’s a tough category this year though, as the song will have to go up against The Climb (Miley Cyrus), Jai Ho (From Slumdog Millionaire), Once In A Lifetime (Beyonce), and The Wrestler (Bruce Springsteen).

In the Best Compilation Soundtrack category, Twilight goes up against True Blood, Slumdog Millionaire, Inglourious Basterds, and Cadillac Records. It’s a bit surprising that there is no Miley Cyrus in the category after she sold all those record for her film.

2010 Grammy Awards Presentation

The 2010 Grammy Awards will be shown on CBS this winter, with an air date of January 31st, 2010 on the schedule. It has a start time of 8:00 P.M. right now.
