Colombian superstar and Pearl Jam frontman to compete for best original song; Michael Brook, Kaki King, Clint Eastwood, and the fictional Dewey Cox also nominated.

Neither Love in the Time of Cholera nor Into the Wild landed nominations for the 65th annual Golden Globe Awards when the nominees were announced today, but the music for each did.

Shakira's "Despedida" (cowritten with Antonio Pinto), from Love in the Time of Cholera, was nominated for best original song. It will compete for the honor with Eddie Vedder's "Guaranteed," from Into the Wild.

In addition, the Pearl Jam frontman was nominated along with Michael Brook and Kaki King for best original score for the Sean Penn-directed tale of Christopher McCandless' solo adventure and eventual death in the wilderness of Alaska.

The other best original score nominees are Clint Eastwood for Grace Is Gone, Alberto Iglesias for The Kite Runner, Dario Marianelli for Atonement, and Howard Shore for Eastern Promises. Atonement was the leading Golden Globe nominee, with seven nods.

Shakira and Vedder will battle for best original song with Eastwood and Carole Bayer Sager's title song from Grace Is Gone, Alan Menken's "That's How You Know" from Enchanted, and "Walk Hard" from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, penned by Marshall Crenshaw, John C. Reilly, Judd Apatow, and Jake Kasdan.
