Every week, we’ll pose a new “five favorites” question. You just list your five favorites that fit in that category (preferably in preference order) and you’re welcome to discuss and debate the selections and see just how much you do or do not have in common with others. If you want to take a look back at our past articles to comment or enjoy, here is a post set aside to track all of our articles.
There are always songs that we lament weren’t nominated either because of some archaic or convoluted rationale or because voters just didn’t get the song. What are your favorite Original Songs that weren’t nominated for Oscars?
