Multiple-winning songs[edit]

Several songs that won the Academy Award for Best Original Song have also ended up winning the various Award ceremonies, such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song; and most notably, the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media, an accolade presented by the Grammy Awards (for the most outstanding achievements in music).

These songs include, “The Windmills of Your Mind” (1968), “The Way We Were” (1973), “I’m Easy” (1975), “Evergreen” (1976), “You Light Up My Life” (1977), “Last Dance” (1978), “Fame” (1980), “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” (1981), “Up Where We Belong” (1982), “Flashdance… What a Feeling” (1983), “I Just Called to Say I Love You” (1984), “Say You, Say Me” (1985), “Take My Breath Away” (1986), “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” (1987), “Under the Sea” (1989), “A Whole New World” (1992), “Streets of Philadelphia” (1993), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (1994), “Colors of the Wind” (1995), “You Must Love Me” (1996), “When You Believe” (1998), “You’ll Be in My Heart” (1999), “Into the West” (2003), “The Weary Kind” (2009) and “Skyfall” (2012) and Let it Go (2013 ).

“My Heart Will Go On” (1997) is the only Academy Award for Best Original Song to also win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Song Written for Visual Media and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Another Academy Award for Best Original Song winner “Beauty and the Beast” (1991), was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, but managed to win the Best Song Written for Visual Media as well as Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals aside from winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Celine Dion sang the lead vocals on both songs. Skyfall (2012) is the only Brit Award winning song to win an Academy Award.

The song “White Christmas” went on to become one of the biggest selling singles of all time.

Female winners[edit]

Dorothy Fields was the first female songwriter to win the Best Original Song Oscar. She wrote the lyrics for the 1936 winner “The Way You Look Tonight” (music by Jerome Kern) sung by Fred Astaire in the film Swing Time. It was thirty-two years before a second woman was honored, Marilyn Bergman, who co-wrote with husband Alan the lyrics for “Windmills of Your Mind” (music Michel Legrand) from The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968. Alan & Marilyn Bergman also wrote the lyrics of 1973 winner “The Way We Were” (music Marvin Hamlisch) from the film of the same name (and the lyrics for the film musical Yentl, which won the Oscar in a different category, Best Original Song Score, in 1983).

Female winners since then:
