When Justin Bieber recorded the song Never Say Never with Jaden Smith for the movie The Karate Kid, he probably had no idea his song might earn him an invitation to the 2011 Oscars.

Yet it could very well happen since this song – and 40 others – is on the nominations list for the original song category. From that list, Academy members will vote to whittle down the choices and determine the official Oscar nominees.

Among songs performed by well-known artists: Bound To You sung by Christina Aguilera in the film Burlesque, and two songs by Gwyneth Paltrow from the film Country Strong which will be released on January 7, 2011.

Also on the short list: Carrie Underwood sings There’s a Place for Us in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and We Belong Together by Randy Newman in Toy Story 3.

The 2011 Oscars will take place Sunday February 27 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
