Oscars 2020: Predicting The Winners In Every Category

5. Best Original Song

Rocketman Taron Egerton
Paramount Pictures

WINNER

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

NOMINEES

"I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away" - Toy Story 4

"I'm Standing with You" - Breakthrough

"Into the Unknown" - Frozen II

"Stand Up" - Harriet

This is a soft year for a category that periodically skews far too pop-centric, honestly.

Though the Academy could give 11-time nominee Diane Warren a pity win for Breakthrough, it feels like the momentum is firmly with Elton John, who will likely pick up his second Oscar, some 25 years after winning the Best Original Score gong for The Lion King.
