Which films are nominated for Best Original Song?

As a musician, this is one of my favorite Oscar categories, but I don't really remember any outstanding original songs from last year. Is Randy Newman nominated for Toy Story 3? Who are all of the artists nominated for Best Original Song this year?
Tip for best answer: M$10.50

From the movie producers to directors, movie actors to script writers, movie fanatics and enthusiasts, the annual movie awards Oscars is the biggest event to look forward to. It's the event where talented people, from actors to the people behind the scenes, are being nominated and recognized for their hard work and and talents at the same time.

My bet is between Country Strong's and Toy Story 3 for the win.
