"Suddenly" from Les Misérables: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So Herbet KretzmerAlain Boulil and Claude-Michel Schönberg didn't tinker with any preexisting numbers, but instead added one for Hugh Jackman.

"Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from Ted: Yes, the raunchy Mark Wahlberg comedy is an Oscar nominee! At least for this song sung by Norah Jones (who also makes a cameo in the film) and written by Walter Murphy and Seth McFarlane.
