That description of Holly Golightly is way off, not even Truman Capote would recognise her. She isn't singing to Paul, she is musing on her life and how she has tried to find herself, after deserting her husband and her farm wife life.
This list suffers from major recency bias. At least half of the list should be pre-1980's songs.
Hard to believe studio execs wanted to yank "Over the Rainbow" ๐. The same was true of "Moon River"๐, bit Audrey was having none of it. Studio execs also wanted to pull the plug on "Star Wars". How do they get hired when they seem to know nothing about film.
Two of my favourite movie songs that were nominated but didn't win are 'Dry Your Tears, Africa' from Amistad, and 'Vois Sur Ton Chemin' from Les Choristes. Also, it's a shame that so few from before 1960 were included, but I guess it's understandable given the age range of the channel's viewers. To name a few … Lullaby of Broadway, White Christmas, The Trolley Song, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, The Ballad of High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darlin') and Que Sera Sera.
I am missing "I will always love you (Whitney Houston, Bodyguard), "Hero" (Nickelback, Spiderman), und "Don't You (Forget About Me)" (Simple Minds, The Breakfast Club), "Pretty Woman" (Roy Orbison, Pretty Woman), aso.
My favorite Oecar winning song is not listed here and it absolutely should have been, SHAFT, written & performed by Isaac Hayes, from the movie of the same name! 3:34
That corny "reunion" and kiss at the end of "Titanic" is the ballesiest closing scene I have EVER seen — as if to say, "Here's ya Oscar winner and we all know it!"
1 song I'm surprised that didn't make this list is Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" from the movie "Beaches". It's a definite tearjerker. We dedicated that song at my grandmother's funeral back in 1997 & it's brought a lot of people, especially my family, to tears. Such a wonderful song.
Check out our featured song: "Lovely People" by Walking Apollo! https://youtu.be/vFu_7k2QgF8

Testimony to an enduring theme, A Star Is Born features twice on this list, some thirty years apart.

You'll Be In My Heart??? Better then most of these songs here.
I really wish you would have added, "It Goes Like it Goes" sung by Jennifer Warnes from the movie, "Norma Rae." Sigh! It's one of my favorites.
