Warner Bros. have posted their\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.warnerbros2014.com\/screenings\/printpage.php?film=thehobbit&amp;type=consideration\">&#8216;For Your Consideration&#8217;<\/a>\u00a0list for &#8220;The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies&#8221; listing all the people and categories they want Hollywood to pay attention to come Awards Season. On that list for &#8216;Best Original Song&#8217; is &#8220;The Last Goodbye&#8221; written by Billy Boyd, Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh, and performed by Billy Boyd. It now seems\u00a0that the use of Pippin&#8217;s song &#8220;The Edge of Night&#8221; in the recently released teaser for the film was a bit of foreshadowing. That song, with the lyrics coming from the last stanza of Tolkien&#8217;s &#8216;A Walking Song&#8217; and the melody written by Billy Boyd himself, demonstrates a great level of empathy on the part of Billy for the melancholic feeling at that point of &#8220;The Return of the King&#8221;. It seems almost too perfect that Billy should be called upon again to deliver what promises to be a very emotional and fitting ending to all things Middle-earth. And because it&#8217;s fun to speculate, you will notice 15 other categories listed &#8216;For Your Consideration&#8217; on that list, many names familiar to us all. Who do you think might get a nomination this Awards Season?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally know Billy Boyd (Pippin from The Lord of the Rings trilogy) will be performing the end&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":93146,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":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}},"categories":[39,65,4,1417,1711,153,5,99,31,83,74,75,1773,498,148,2497,149,152,392],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boyd","category-walsh","category-hobbit-movie","category-hobbit-movie-faq","category-hobbit-movie-rumors","category-tolkien-life","category-lotr-movies","category-lotr-production","category-rotk-movie","category-merchandise-music","category-jackson","category-boyens","category-soundtrack","category-production-studios","category-hobbit","category-the-hobbit-the-battle-of-the-five-armies","category-lotr","category-tolkien","category-warner-bros"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Billy-nbff.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-oek","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93144","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\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93144"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93148,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93144\/revisions\/93148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
