The film's star took to her official Twitter page to insist that the Diane Warren-penned song deserved to be recognised by the Academy, especially after winning the 'Best Original Song' prize at the Golden Globes ceremony earlier this month.
She wrote: "We didn't get a nomination 4 best song! That sucks!... Diane's song is so beautiful! It's hard to understand how u win the Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS (sic)."
Cher later suggested that she wasn't going to let the snub ruin her day, adding: "Oh well it is ... what it is ... the sun is still shining!"
The performer previously won a 'Best Actress' Oscar for her role in 1987's Moonstruck.
The 2011 Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 27 at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
