Being someone who religiously tunes into the Oscars every year (which means staying up all night may I add!) when I first heard this news I was over the moon, but there is one thing that we do have to remember, the nominees are chosen by the Academy, and the Academy have some of the strangest tastes I've ever come across! I think the fact that a song like Wide Awake is on the shortlist this year says a lot about the changes taking place within the Academy itself (it's joining the 21st century!) so hopefully they'll take it one step further and give Katy (an extremely deserved) nomination!
