The 2016 Academy Awards are just around the corner, and while the event is undoubtably held to celebrate movies, the original songs made for films play a part in the ceremony as well. Here are the five tracks that were nominated this year:

1. “Earned It” from Fifty Shades of Grey

2. “Manta Ray” from Racing Extinction

3. “Simple Song #3” from Youth

4. “Til It Happens To You” from The Hunting Ground

5. “Writing’s On The Wall” from Spectre
