Who Won Best Song Oscar for 2020

 

Ok, I normally write this theme the 3rd week of the Month, but I like doing the themes on Monday Music Moves Me so I placed this theme of mine now. I am not much for the newer songs because they don’t make me  hum the tune. They all sound the same or they are, simply, annoying. Anyways, let’s see if you can guess which song won the Oscar, which was nominated and which came up nadda!

1. HUSAVIK SUNG BY WILL FARRELL AND MOLLY SANDEN

My head must have been up my ass but I never knew about the Eurovision contest even though that is how ABBA  came to be famous. This is a catchy song written by Richard Goransson(music) and Fat Max Gus’s and Savan Kotecha (lyrics). I was surprised by Will Farrell but he’s pretty good. Oh, the Iceland town of HUSAVIK has adopted this song as their main song.

2. FIGHT FOR YOU SUNG BY DI MILE AND H.E.R.

This is a song that I am not a fan of…I believe it was a big hit but, for me, meh. It was written by H.E.R.  and Tiara Thomas. Whatever happened to just having a regular name? 

3. GLASGOW SUNG BY JESSIE BUCKLEY

This is a really nice song from the indie film, “ Wild Rose”, that got a lot of accolades when it was shown at TIFF in Toronto. Believe it or not, this was written by Mary Steenburgen, who, during Covid, had this music come into her head. She said wherever she went and looked she would see the music and hear it but she had no idea how to put it to paper so along came Caitlyn Smith who helped, greatly, to place this music onto paper.

So…..who won the Oscar? Who was nominated? Who got nuttin? This was a weird year because of….Covid. One song seems to have come out in 2018 but was up for the Oscar this year. It seems the songs were from different years because the Oscar’s were delayed. Anyhoo, these songs were for this year’s Oscar.
