The pushed back release date of Gatsby means it could have been written long before, for the film, and then dumped by Baz and re-instated into the film. I haven't heard the demo but Gatsby was supposed to come out in December 2012 for the awards season so who knows when he asked Lana to be included in the soundtrack. She could have then re-written it, took it for herself, put it on Paradise, then re-written it again for the film, who knows? We have no idea of the journey of the songs but I'm glad that it is eligible because it does deserve to be there. "Please Mr. Kennedy" is not on the longlist for Oscars so Y&B is definitely eligible. I don't know how the Oscars would even prove whether it was written for the film or not.

To me, Young & Beautiful should have a better chance of being nominated because it's used a lot during the film. It's really embedded into the movie, I laughed when the chords were played for the 8th time. It really is the 'theme' in a way that a lot of songs written for these films are not. Plus, come on, you don't want to see Lana get the Oscar? I'm a pop fan for myself so any of our 'girls' being there amongst the stuffy elite is good for me.

Lana SAYS she doesn't care about charts but all artists do that, they just say that to appear to be 'all about the music' in an organic way. Look at Lady Gaga recently, "I don't write for the charts" and then got upset when her material began to underperform and got mad at Billboard (I love Gaga, just an example) and there's also plenty of "unsuccessful" indie artists like Santigold who claim that their music is somehow 'raw' and 'deeper' than the mainstream when it's not and you know she would kill for a #1 single. It's obvious that Lana cares more about being successful and being accepted than a lot of people, she wants the #1 albums, even if she claims she doesn't and I wouldn't be surprised if Interscope got on at her for producing a second album. Didn't Paradise sort of underperform for what was essentially a new album? I'm expecting Ultraviolence to release in the first quarter of next year. Interscope want those receipts.

Am I the only one who thinks Lana and Lorde (the Lana imitator, yes I went there!) in the same category will split the votes between the two of them and cancel each other out? They're both similar. I'd love to see her win but it's kind of amazing that they even remembered Paradise and that she's there in the first place.

Is it me or is the lack of reviews worrying? Haha. Like "oh, it wasn't that good *moves on with life*" 

Tropico can be your reward for passing 

Gorgeous shot of her looking at the end, but this will be a hot mess.

I thought the 'extraterrestrials' comment from her was a reference to Shaun Ross being in the ET video. 

I thought that too but didn't want to crush the excitement, damn Mandler.
