How can the Academy nominate just one? There are at least four songs on this soundtrack that not only should be nominated for Best Original Song, but could win it. "Up", "Drive It Like You Stole It", "To Find You", and "Go Now" are all excellent songs that deserve award consideration. Which one do you think should win?
shareThe current rules allow two songs from a film to be nominated.
My favourite original song from the film is "Drive It Like You Stole It", so I'd like to see that nominated. "Brown Shoes", "Girls", and "Up" would be the ones I listen to most.
"Go Now" seems to be the favourite of the Sing Street songs for Oscar predictions, but that's probably my least favourite of all the original songs. I just don't like the vocals on that track.
I'm hearing from critics who were at all the film festivals that La La Land will be a lock for best song. I really hope Sing Street isn't forgotten.
shareI love the original music in Sing Street, however the one song that I have heard from LaLa Land is a beautiful, haunting ballad. Politically, it's being featured in a high profile Hollywood film featuring two major stars versus a small, independent(albeit perfect & charming) story...unfortunately, advantage LaLa Land.
shareEven though Sing Street came out so early, I think the Academy members who vote in this category seem to like Carney and his films. I'm being sloppy here by not checking on IMDb, but I believe "Once" was nominated for Best Song and won, and "Begin Again" also had a song nominated. That makes me more confident that something from Sing Street will be nominated.
