Best Original Song:
"Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" - La La Land
"Can't Stop the Feeling" - Trolls
"City of Stars" - La La Land
"The Empty Chair" - Jim: The James Foley Story
"How Far I'll Go" - Moana
How about this embarrassment of riches?!? Only one mediocre entry in the bunch (with apologies to the Foley film). "Can't Stop the Feeling" is easily the most popular song nominated since 2013's "Let it Go" and "Happy", but I don't think it really has a chance. "City of Stars" is the clear favorite as it is the most accessible, catchy song in the most popular award season movie of the year, but what if "Audition" splits the vote? Then OMG!!! Lin-Manuel Miranda will EGOT!!!! I don't think it'll happen, but it still provides some excitement for a category that definitely took a couple of years off.
My Ballot:
"Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" - La La Land
"City of Stars" - La La Land
"How Far I'll Go" - Moana
"Can't Stop the Feeling" - Trolls
"The Empty Chair" - Jim: The James Foley Story
My Pick to Win:
"City of Stars" - La La Land
Shamefully Snubbed:
"Drive it Like You Stole It" - Sing Street
