Songs That Lost the Oscar - Part 2

Since 1934 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has awarded “Oscars” to the composer and lyricist responsible for an original song considered to be the best from the films released during the prior year. Past winners have included such classic numbers as "The Way You Look Tonight," "Over the Rainbow," and "Moon River." However many other great songs, although nominated, failed to be recognized as the best in a particular year.
In the second part of this two-part multi-media series we will revisit several other outstanding numbers from this group, including such memorable standards as "The Second Time Around," "Long Ago and Far Away," and "They Can’t Take That Away from Me." In addition we will have an opportunity to discuss how and why the Academy voters decided upon another choice as the winner.
