Elton's solo trackMary J. Blige has received a nod forRobbie Williams and Will.I.Am's track Madonnahas 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.
