Music is such an amazing feature in cinema. The use of music can make the entire experience all that much better. 

Before I jump into the movie music awards, I wanted to give a special shout out to the best music on TV this year. It came from the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building. Oliver was planning out a musical for Broadway and we get to hear and see several numbers from the show. My favorite from the four really exceptional ones was the Steve Martin song “Which of the Pickwick Triples Did It?”

Moving on to the Movies…

I want to start with the Best Song from a Movie. Honestly, some of the ones that I have chosen are not necessarily those that the Oscars may choose. I know that the one I am choosing as the winner did not make the Oscar short list. It’ll have to settle for the EYG Award.
