Alternative Oscars 2018: The Nominees & Winners For Every Category

7. Best Original Song

Call Me By Your Name Armie Hammer
Sony Pictures Classics

WINNER: "Visions Of Gideon" (Call Me by Your Name)

Though Call Me by Your Name was rightly nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar, voters actually picked the wrong song, springing for "Mystery of Love" instead of the far more potent end credits tune, Visions of Gideon.

This category always feels like a bit of a waste because it's typically filled out by generic pop music, but honestly, there aren't a lot of left-field tunes to choose from this year.

Beauty and the Beast's "Nevermore" not being nominated by the actual Oscars was pretty surprising - something we've remedied here - and The Breadwinner's "The Crown Sleeps" was pretty memorable, so that makes the cut too.

RUNNERS-UP:

2. "Remember Me" (Coco)

3. "Evermore" (Beauty and the Beast)

4. "The Crown Sleeps" (The Breadwinner)

5. "This is Me" (The Greatest Showman)
