8 MOST MEMORABLE ACADEMY-WINNING ORIGINAL SONGS
Academy Awards have become a pinnacle of celebrating the best songs solely done for the movies . The movie ’ s charisma and charm are amplified by superb songs that embody the heart and soul of the story . Here are some of the most memorable tracks commemorated by the Oscars .
Lose Yourself , Eminem , Jeff Bass and Luis Resto from 8 Mile
The movie is loosely based on Marshall “ Eminem ” Mathers ’ s real life , which traverses his life from being a struggling artist to becoming a global phenomenon . The song , which is sung by Eminem , is infused and charged with an emotional quotient which makes the hair stand . ‘ Lose Yourself ’ also marked a historic moment as it became the first rap song to win the coveted award .
Shallow , Lady Gaga , Mark Ronson , Anthony Rossomando & Andrew Wyatt from A Star Is Born
With the thundering and electric vocals by Lady Gaga , only a few songs hit the note of being of such superb quality . The song hit more than 1.5 billion views on YouTube , along with winning all the big awards of the year , including a Golden Globe , a Critics ’ Choice Award , a BAFTA Award , and two Grammys . The acoustic riff , which is amalgamated by a piano ballad where Gaga breaks into a full-blown chorus , surely touches the heart each time .
City of Stars , Justin Hurwitz , Benj Pasek & Justin Paul from La La Land
A perfect fit with the theme of the movie , which is about two struggling artists in the city of Dreams ‘ Los Angeles ’ as they try to make it big amongst the stars . There were two versions of the song , one sung on the Hermosa Beach pier by Ryan Gosling and the other by both the stars in their apartment . The sincerity of the lyrics and the melancholic vibe make the song a true champion .
