”Masterpiece” does not qualify for Oscar contention
The Academy announced the 39 qualifying songs in this year’s race with a handful of big names in the running – but one Golden Globes nominee, Madonna, conspicuously missing.
“Masterpiece,” a Madonna song from “W.E.” that received a Globe nomination last week, did not qualify for Oscar contention because of its placement a minute-and-a-half deep in the final credits. AMPAS rules require an end-credits song to be “the first music cue” in those credits to qualify.
