ONTD ORIGINAL: Contenders for Best Original Song 2020

[sandstorm]

I did this last year (twice) and quite enjoyed it. This year is even better, because so far, there are no clear frontrunners. The criteria is:

• Written for the movie
• Heard within the movie or the first song in the credits
• Something about length, at least 2 minutes, though I think "Remember Me" just falls underneath that, so I could be wrong.

Sure, it

would Money by Cardi B qualify for Hustlers? Since it's in the movie and not on any of her albums. Idk how this stuff works

[masterofmystery]

it has to be a song originally written specifically for the movie, so i doubt it

I haven't listened to Spirit in full so idk if it's good or not but when I saw Lion King I remember being upset about the placement because my actual favorite song from the original 1994 soundtrack was replaced.

I was about to, then I listened to it and went "Eh".

Funny how Netflix movie songs can be nominated but it takes hell on earth to get a movie or actor nominated.

I'm pulling for the Rocketman song.

My friends love that new song that was in Aladdin or at least they were super eager to perform it at karaoke lol.
