The Genetic Opera' Eligible for Best Original Song Oscar!! http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/14700 Print This Page B-D member 'theferninator' just sent me a link to an incredible article over at Yahoo! that gives us horror fans some hope for this year's Academy Awards. They report that forty-nine tunes have been deemed eligible to compete in the best original song category at the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22. Included in this list are three tracks from Darren Lynn Bousman's Repo! The Genetic Opera! Read on for the story and keep those fingers crossed that we have a genre film in the big award ceremony (where they'd be performing!). "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" led the potential hit list by qualifying 11 tunes. Its nearest competitor is "Repo! The Genetic Opera," which is represented by three songs. A maximum of two songs can be nominated from any one film.

Members then will vote to determine which three to five should become nominees in the category.
