Oscars' Best Original Song Nominations: 'Man or Muppet' Vs. 'Real in Rio'

Disney

The 84th Academy Awards nomination list is here! And out of the 39 tunes shortlisted for Best Original Song, only two have made the cut. 'Man or Muppet' from Jason Segel's 'The Muppets' and 'Real in Rio' from the animated feature 'Rio' are the only two original tracks deemed worthy of an Oscar in 2012.

"I think that 'Man or Muppet' should be nominated for an Academy Award. You can put that in print," funnyman Segel recently told Spinner. The actor worked with Flight of the Concords scoring genius Bret McKenzie on the movie's soundtrack, and the video features Jim Parsons of 'The Big Bang Theory.'
