Randy Newman has been nominated twice for an Academy Award in the category for music (best original song).
The singer-songwriter is nominated for "Almost There" and "Down in New Orleans," both of which he wrote for the animated Walt Disney feature "The Princess and the Frog."
Newman will vie for the original song Oscar against Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett, who are nominated for "The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)" from "Crazy Heart," which stars Jeff Bridges as a country music singer. Bingham and Burnett won best original song at the Golden Globes in January.
