Oscars 2020: Predicting All The Nominees

By Jack Pooley / January 11, 2020

7. Original Song

Of the 75 eligible songs, a 15-song shortlist has been made, and predictably, it largely consists of pop-skewing hits in major blockbusters.

Frozen II, Harriet, The Lion King, and Rocketman (which just won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song) all feel like locks on pure popularity alone, while the fifth slot will be fought out between Wild Rose and Aladdin's "Speechless."

Though Aladdin has tremendous visibility, the general acclaim for Wild Rose, and BAFTA-nominated Jessie Buckley's marvelous performance of the song, just might allow her to steal #5.

Nominees:

"Glasgow (No Place Like Home") - Wild Rose

"(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" - Rocketman

"Into the Unknown" - Frozen II

"Spirit" - The Lion King

"Stand Up" - Harriet
