It got me thinking - has a song ever won the Oscar that you really liked? Here's a list of many of the winners to help you remember some of them.

What I found odd about this year's best song wasn't the winner (although I think Dolly was robbed) it was the fact only three songs were nominated. I don't recall a season in recent years where there were only three nominations. Was this just a bad year for 'theme' songs or was the Academy just lazy?
