I think if any song was going to be submitted for Best Original Song consideration, it would be Where No One Goes.
The nominees are usually performed during the show as well, though not all of them. Dancing and Dreaming isn't really a performance-type song...
I really doubt that. From a technical POV this is the worst song I've ever listen to. The sound mixing is on the niveau of a teeny rockband ("Make me louder!","No, make me louder.", "And me, too.").
I've mentioned that before in another topic:
Spoiler: click to toggle 3 Reasons why "Where No One Goes" is a bad song
First of all, I have only listened to the first 5 seconds, but that was more than enough.
1.) No dynamic range: The relative level of the song is always between -10 and -6dB and all instruments are always at the same level. There is no quit passage. This is probably the loudest song I've ever listen to and perfect example for the "Loudness War".
2.) Stereo Effect = 0: When you look at a spectrogram while listening to it you see that nearly all sounds are mono. For what do we have to channels? And the SPL of both channels is always nearly the same.
3.) Never, NEVER mix beautiful orchestral music with synthed basses. It ruin every detail of such high quality recorded music.
Cool, but all im saying is, if they're even considering putting any song in to the awards consideration mix, its probably going to be that one and not dancing and dreaming.

@CartoonFreak, I know it's your own opinion, but how can you not like that song?! 
Because it's obnoxious and annoying.
I love it!

Just saying personally I really enjoy it just because it's enjoyable. I don't care all that much about if it's mixed orchestra music with synthed basses, as long as I enjoy it, I like it. But please don't feel I'm hating your opinion, I respect it!

What should I write on my signature? Hmm...
I am a Httyd, Gravity Falls and Portal (One and two) fan.
I'm also a bookworm and an introvert.
That was pretty random, but that's me summed up in two sentences.

Personally, I am disappointed to hear that Valka and Stoick sing. I feel like it would be perceived as wasting time.

I felt this was one of the few sequences in the film that received the screen time it deserved. To justify this, I'll need to wade into spoiler territory, so if you have yet to watch the film, you may want to skip this.
Spoiler: click to toggle In the context of the story, how should Valka react, after being isolated from meaningful human contact for two decades, to the sudden appearance of two personally significant characters and the revelation that Berk had capitulated to her ideals? This last point in particular seemed like an impossible feat to her, and sufficient grounds to justify a hermitic existence. For Valka to take such world-shattering news in her stride would seem superhuman.
So she's a bit winded, and Stoick's picked up on this. What should he do? He's no wordsmith. He draws on a powerful memory that he shares with Valka. A joyous memory: that of their courtship. A simple tune, some plain lyrics (for Stoick's no songsmith either), and you've got yourself a DIY psych session. This series of events seems plausible.
In terms of storytelling, we needed an upbeat sequence to transition between two downbeats: "the bad guys are coming" and "the bad guys have arrived". With that in mind, what we're left with seems fitting: it delivers a moment of levity, fleshes out Stoick and Valka's backstory, establishes "the romantic" as a facet of Stoick's character, and sets us up for the fall (when Stoick dies).
