After the song she sung in the film Burlesque won itself a Golden Globe, it was quite understandable that Cher would expect it to earn an Oscar nomination.

But when the Oscar shortlists were announced on Tuesday, You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me was noticeably absent from the Best Original Song category - which has proven to be a huge disappointment for the singer-actress.

In fact she was so upset by its lack of nomination that she took to Twitter to express her disbelief - leading to a bizarre rant when someone else hit back at her 'gripes'.

'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,' she began, referring to songwriter Diane Warren who composed the track.

 

Seemingly though that was not enough for the 64-year-old, who tried to look on the bright side by saying, 'The Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is....the sun is still shining!'

And just moments later she pondered the lack of nomination with a further tweet: 'maybe she would have had a better chance if someone else was singing it ?!! IT JUST CANT B HER SONG.'

Clearly however her tweets had a negative effect on one of her followers, for the next time Cher posted on her Twitter page it was to hit back at someone who had accused her of 'griping' and asked 'would you like some cheese 2 go with that whine?'

She promptly responded by accusing the person of having a 'lack of respect and total disregard' before ending with a curt 'Up Yours Dude!xxxxxxCHER.'

And as a parting shot she offered: Whatever Your Name Is?? It is With TOTAL Disregard & Complete Lack Of respect ..... That i Wish u Goodnight & Goodfknluck xxxxCher !'

You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me lost out in the best original song category to songs from 127 Hours, Toy Story 3, Tangled and the Gwyneth Paltrow film Country Strong.

It won the Golden Globe in the same category earlier this month - but despite its win, and also being nominated for the best comedy or musical film, it has failed to win any Oscar nominations.

However Cher - who plays nightclub owner Tess in the film alongside Christina Aguilera - has received a nod for Worst Supporting Actress in this year's Razzie nominations, which honour the worst movies of the year.
