Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Original Song

The competition: “Before My Time” (Chasing Ice), “Suddenly” (Les Miserables), “Pi’s Lullaby” (Life of Pi), “Skyfall” (Skyfall), “Everybody Needs a Best Friend” (Ted)

Previous winners: Man or Muppet (The Muppets), We Belong Together (Toy Story 3), The Weary Kind (Crazy Heart), Jai Ho (Slumdog Millionaire), Falling Slowly (Once), I Need To Wake Up (An Inconvenient Truth), It’s Hard Out There For A Pimp (Hustle & Flow)
My winner: TBA
The facts: Everyone in this category is a first-time nominee. Songs from comedies and documentaries have won this award in the past, but a James Bond movie never has.
Who should win: “Skyfall,” by far
Who will win: It could be any of them, but I think that Skyfall has a definite edge.
