Acredito que a última canção que venceu o Oscar em tal categoria e caiu nas graças do público, tornando - se imortal, foi My Heart Will Go, do filme Titanic, e inesquecível na voz de Celine Dion, feito ocorrido no Oscar 1998! No mais, na expectativa de nas próximas edições do Oscar, saiam entre indicados e vencedores, canções que tornem - se imortais, para o grande público. Até a próxima!
