Adeles Skyfall theme deemed eligible for original song Oscar

There are 75 original songs that qualify for the Oscar this year, but really everyone has been waiting to hear about one.

Adeles title theme to Skyfall surged to #1 on iTunes just days after debuting in October, but some feared the number by her and Paul Epworth would be ruled ineligible for the Oscar because it incorporates elements of the classic 007 theme, which of course is not original.

But the music branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided it was not a significant enough problem to boot it from the potential nominees, and included it without comment in its list of songs that could collect an Oscar on Feb. 24.

Depending on how the nominations go, and whether producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan decide to include performances of this category, the ABC telecast could turn into quite an eclectic concert.

The new lullaby-esque love song Suddenly from Les Miserables makes the cut, of course. And the list of eligible songs also includes Neil Finns Song of the Lonely Mountain from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Frankenweenies Strange Love, performed by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Karen O., and Katy Perrys Wide Awake from her film Part of Me.

Quentin Tarantinos Django Unchained could virtually fill the entire category, with fou! r eligible songs: Rick Ross 100 Black Coffins, John Legends Who Did That To You? (also, coincidentally, co-written by Skyfalls Epworth), Ancora Qui from classic film composer Ennio Morricone and Elisa, and Freedom performed by Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boynton.
