  2. “Things Have Changed” from Wonder Boys - loved it then, love it still!
  3. “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic - If it went any slower, it’d be backing up. The song is meh, C. Dion is the worst.

Nitpick: “Against All Odds” did not win an Oscar. In fact, Collins was quite vocal about not only losing to Stevie Wonder (he liked the song “I Just Called to Say I Love You” but felt it had nothing to do with the movie it was from) but also not being allowed to perform his song at the ceremony. He did win several years later for Tarzan’s “You’ll Be in My Heart”, so your point about the universe still stands. :slight_smile:
