The ‘Best Original Song’ category at the Oscars is one of the toughest to predict — let alone rank — but our NPR music critic gave it a shot.
that could have easily disqualified him in the eyes of Oscar voters. But his songs are crucial to the feel of, Kenneth Branagh's warmly personal account of a childhood set against The Troubles in 1969. Eight of Morrison's classics adorn the soundtrack, while the new"Down to Joy" opens the film on a vibrant note.
It's to Morrison's credit that"Down to Joy" sits seamlessly alongside his best-known work, and that the song finds Ireland's crabbiest crank in fine voice. But the track also feels like a composite sketch of every hit Morrison has ever written. If we were to one day learn that he'd written"Down to Joy" in, say, 1971, would anyone really be surprised? It's timeless, but when the field is this strong, timelessness is a double-edged sword.
What works against"No Time to Die" — and, mind you, it still stands an excellent chance of winning — is that it came out two full excruciatingly long years ago. Because it was released in the run-up toyear's nominees, and it's exceedingly difficult to maintain momentum for that long. Still, it's a career highlight for Eilish, which is already saying something.
