| | FMS: Feature [That Win For "Lose Yourself"] |
| | Some Academy members have quietly confessed that they now feel so out of touch with modern music that they confer with their children about what's hot before completing their ballots. | | | Academy officials never release vote counts (although in recent years there has been a growing number of calls to report the numbers), so there is no way to know precisely how many of the organization's 5,800 voting members actually checked off 8 Mile on the ballot. | | | The new song in Chicago might have been a good alternate choice, but the Kander and Ebb tune played literally like an afterthought over the film's end titles and barely registered with most listeners despite the commercial success of the soundtrack album. |
