However perhaps one of the strangest nomination snubs regarding the Hobbit at this year&#8217;s particular Oscars is the absence of a nomination for Best Original Song.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Desolation of Smaug&#8217;s entry into the category was its closing credit and main theme song written by British starlet Ed Sheeran. Sheeran&#8217;s song entitled &#8216;I See Fire&#8217; was the first single he had written and performed in two years and truly captured the spirit of the film with lyrics tailored specifically to the world of Middle-Earth and the events in the movie.<\/p>\n<p>However the Oscars selectors didn&#8217;t deem Sheeran&#8217;s song worthy of a nomination instead opting for Pharrell&#8217;s &#8216;Happy&#8217; from &#8216;Despicle Me 2&#8217;, Karen O &#038; Spike Jonze&#8217;s &#8216;The Moon Song&#8217; from &#8216;Her&#8217;, U2&#8217;s &#8216;Ordinary Love&#8217; from &#8216;Mandella: Long Walk To Freedom&#8217; and finally Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez song &#8216;Let it Go&#8217; from Disney&#8217;s &#8216;Frozen&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst all of the above songs have been incredibly popular with &#8216;Let it Go&#8217; being the second Best Original Song nomination to ever top the Billboard&#8217;s Hot 100 list and &#8216;Happy&#8217; being used to play out the Brit awards, but it really does seem like Ed Sheeran&#8217;s exclusion from the list is an oversight. <\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.movies.yahoo.com\/ed-sheerans-oscar-snubbed-hobbit-song-see-fire-170500115.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NME reveals that Ed Sheeran&#8217;s Hobbit soundtrack is the most streamed movie soundtrack of the last 12 months&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":81824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2231,4,1773,148],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ed-sheeran-soundtrack","category-hobbit-movie","category-soundtrack","category-hobbit"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ed-Sheeran.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-mIG","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87338"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87338\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87342,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87338\/revisions\/87342"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
