Comment:

If, more often than not, you find yourself raising an angry fist at your TV screen, and yelling the word [i]travesty[/i] rather too loudly for your neighbors’ comfort, when the winner of Best Original Song is announced on Oscar® night, then this Essentials playlist is for you. We’ve carefully sifted through all the nominees in Academy Award® history, and gathered together the best of the tunes never to have enjoyed a victory waltz with the little golden fella. Here you’ll find the work of Genesis alumni Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel alongside classics from the old guard (Judy Garland, Bing Crosby), tunes by legends of rock and country (Jon Bon Jovi, Willie Nelson) and a couple of Bond themes (“Nobody Does It Better,” “Live and Let Die”). As far as we’re concerned, every one’s a winner.
