Links: Article & Nominees, Nominees in PDF format

There are lots of great music moments in film. Here are a few I was especially glad to see get nominated.

As Times Goes By - Casablanca
Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing - Eyes Wide Shut
The Bare Necessities - The Jungle Book
Big Bottom - This is Spinal Tap
Blame Canada - South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Bohemian Rhapsody - Wayne's World
Come What May - Moulin Rouge
The End - Apocalypse Now
Eye of the Tiger - Rocky III
Friend Like Me - Aladdin
Gangsta's Paradise - Dangerous Minds
Gonna Fly Now - Rocky
Hakuna Matata - The Lion King
I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow - O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Over the Rainbow - The Wizard of Oz
The Power of Love - Back to the Future
Rainbow Connection - The Muppet Movie
Shout - National Lampoon's Animal House
Stuck in the Middle With You - Resevoir Dogs
The Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show
Tiny Dancer - Almost Famous
Twist and Shout - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah - Song of the South

I'm not sure how many of these will make the final list. I'm certain As Time Goes By and Over the Rainbow probably will. If not Over the Rainbow, then another song from Wizard of Oz probably will. But I'm curious to see how many rock songs will make the list compared to the Broadway musical type songs and love songs.

Personally, I think the Blues Brothers were a little underrated in the nominations. I saw them in there for Think, but I would like to see Shake a Tailfeather, Everybody Needs Somebody, and Minnie the Moocher on there as well.

What are your thoughts? Can you think of others that should have made the nominations?

Prophecy

Off hand I can't think of any other songs that should be nominated. The show sounds fun, the only thing I don't like about these types of shows is when they put the songs in order. I always disagree with the numbering. That a side this does sound a like a fun night.

Bump! Did anyone else watch this tonight? Most of the songs I liked best didn't make the cut.

I watched it.

Pretty good show, but I kept wanting to watch the movies as the songs came up.

It was no surprise to me that "Over the Rainbow" and "As Time Goes By" took #1 and #2, but I was somewhat surprised how many tunes from Singing in the Rain were there. I certainly expected the title tune, but they also had "Make Them Laugh" and "Good Morning!" there.

Also NOT a surprise was the dominance of Judy Garland.

Ah, such a sad sad life.

RIP, Judy.

I can't believe the theme from Jaws didn't make it, or on a lesser note, Darth Vader's theme.

I enjoyed the show -- brought me back to my childhood. My dad watched musicals non-stop and LOVES Barbara Striesand.

My girls enjoyed the show too and we developed a list of movies to watch as a result. I think they were surprised how many songs I was able to sing (if you can call what I do singing) along too.

It was songs they were doing, not scores composed for the movie.

The Time Warp didn't make it, did it? I only caught like the top 20 or 30 songs and didn't see it. Made me rather sad.
