Glenn Close & Sinead O'Connor- Lay Your Head Down (Albert Nobbs)
Madonna - Masterpiece (W.E)
Elton John and Lady Gaga- Hello Hello (Gnomeo & Juliet)
Mary J. Blige- The Living Proof (The Help)
You can listen to extracts from them all via Spin or read Chris's reaction to the good news in the Hollywood Reporter:
"Chris Cornell, Machine Gun Preacher, "The Keeper" -- best original song, motion picture: "I was dead asleep after staying up with my family, the four of us with two beds pushed together watching Hook. It’s a huge honor for me and also an opportunity for a song to have a little more life and to get a message across. I tried really hard to write a song about the Sudanese orphan children without having lived those lives. “
The Golden Globes, voted upon by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are one of the most widely watched awards ceremonies during the lead-up to the Oscars in February. The event will be broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on January 15, 2012, by NBC.
