“I love the conversation between film and music.” – Agnes Obel

This brings us to present day. Nominees for the Oscar for Best Original Song have been announced. Kory Grow of Rolling Stone has been kind enough to gather all these songs and compile them into one cohesive Rolling Stone article.
Flip through this list, and enjoy the colorful variety of music featured this year: Best Original Song Nominees.
Here is my favorite: “Speak Now” by Leslie Odom Jr. from One Night in Miami.
