Academy Award Winning Songs

[muggle not]

List a couple of you favorite "Academy Award Winning Songs". In my opinion the popularity of the songs has dropped off in the 1990's and 2000's. Not many of those songs will be remembered like in the earlier years.

 

Two of my favorites are:

 

Over The Rainbow - by Judy Garland (Wizard of Oz)

 

White Christmas - by Bing Crosby (Holiday Inn)

I think the songs that have won from animated films might have a bit more longevity, purely because animated films tend to have longevity as subsequent generations continue to watch them.

 

Two of my favourites from the winning songs would have to be:

 

The Way You Look Tonight - by Fred Astaire (Swing Time)

 

Secret Love - by Doris Day (Calamity Jane)
