Pop superstar Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay-Z both made the shortlist for the best original song Oscar. LOS ANGELES: Beyonce, Jay-Z and Ariane Grande are all in the running for the best original song Oscar, but French shock-fest "Titane" did not make the shortlist for best foreign film, as the Academy unveiled its annual shortlists Tuesday ahead of the formal nominations. Fifteen contenders were unveiled for the international feature film Academy Award, from among 92 eligible movies. Denmark, which won the foreign film Oscar last year for "Another Round," again has a strong contender in the form of "Flee," which chronicles a gay Afghan refugee's perilous journey to Europe. The animated film was also included in the shortlist for best documentary, which was also unveiled Tuesday.
