Coldplay, singer-songwriter Lorde, country icon Glen Campbell and punk priestess Patti Smith are among the contenders for the Oscar for Best Original Song, the Academy announced on Friday.
Their songs were part of a list of 79 eligible songs that was released by the Academy, four more/less than last year's total of 75.

Coldplay is eligible for “Miracles,” a song from the Angelina Jolie film “Unbroken.” Lorde wrote and performs “Yellow Flicker Beat” from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One.” Campbell co-wrote and sings the lament “I'm Not Gonna Miss You” from “Glen Campbell…I'll Be Me,” a documentary about his fight against Alzheimer's. And Smith wrote “Mercy Is,” a lullaby sung by Russell Crowe in “Noah” and repeated in a closing-credits version by Smith.
Members of the music branch will be sent a DVD containing the scenes in which all of the eligible songs are used, and will vote for their favorites after viewing that compilation. (Or presumably viewing it – they're on the honor system.)
Nominations will be announced on Jan. 15.
