Wildcard (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐):

It transcends its audience.  I have never watched this film end to end before.  Only bits and pieces.  However, the songs of this first are part of everyday.  At least have of them I knew without ever seeing them on screen.  That says something.

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda:

Other than Doctor Zhivago, who could have also done it, the Academy got it right.
